SmackDown Tag Team title tables match set for WWE Extreme Rules
A Tag Team title match is the latest addition to the lineup for Extreme Rules.
SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day will defend their titles against Shinsuke Nakamura & Cesaro in a tables match at Sunday’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view. In storyline, Cesaro & Nakamura got to choose whether it would be a tables match or a steel cage match after Cesaro defeated Big E on SmackDown tonight.
The finish of Cesaro vs. Big E was Cesaro hitting the Neutralizer after interference by Nakamura.
Nakamura & Cesaro challenged for The New Day’s titles in the main event of SmackDown last week, but the match ended in a disqualification after it broke down. Nakamura and Cesaro were in the ring at the same time fighting with Kofi Kingston, and Big E joined in to help his partner. The teams kept brawling after the match and Nakamura & Cesaro put Kingston & Big E through a table.
Kingston made the save when Cesaro & Nakamura tried to put Big E through a table after tonight’s match. The New Day then went to put Cesaro through a table, but Nakamura pulled him away.
