Tag match set for WWE Money in the Bank pre-show

WWE has announced a pre-show match for Sunday’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

SmackDown Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan & Rowan will take on The Usos on the Money in the Bank pre-show. It doesn’t appear that Bryan & Rowan’s titles will be on the line in the match.

After The Hardys vacated the titles, Bryan & Rowan became SmackDown Tag Team Champions by defeating The Usos last week.

Bryan, Rowan, Shane McMahon, and Elias attacked Roman Reigns and The Miz in the opening segment of tonight’s SmackDown. The Usos made the save for Reigns and Miz, and Shane announced a four-on-three handicap match for later in the night. As a stipulation of it, Miz’s steel cage match against Shane at Money in the Bank would’ve been canceled if Miz got involved.

Shane got the win for the heels in the handicap match. Miz then came out with a chair and stopped Shane, Elias, Bryan, and Rowan from beating down Reigns and The Usos.

The Usos moved to Raw in the Superstar Shake-up but have been on the past two episodes of SmackDown as part of the Wild Card rule. They’ve also been in a storyline with The Revival on Raw.

  • Universal Champion Seth Rollins defending against AJ Styles
