SmackDown tag title match official for WWE Stomping Grounds
The SmackDown Tag Team titles will officially be on the line at Stomping Grounds.
WWE has announced that SmackDown Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan & Rowan will defend their titles against Heavy Machinery (Tucker & Otis) at Sunday’s pay-per-view. The show is taking place at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington.
Heavy Machinery defeated The B-Team (Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas) on tonight’s SmackDown. Bryan and Rowan were on commentary for the match, with Bryan pushing that Tucker and Otis are legitimate athletes but are too focused on joking around.
