Tag Team title match, Cody Rhodes segment added to WWE SmackDown
Two new announcements have been made for WWE SmackDown tonight.
The WWE Tag Team titles will be on the line with Motor City Machine Guns defending their belts against The Street Profits. A segment with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes kicking off the episode has also been added. WWE posted a video with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis announcing the news this afternoon.
Rhodes is just eight days away from his title defense against Kevin Owens on the return of Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin became WWE Tag Team Champions in their debut this October. The Street Profits and DIY are in the title mix with Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano seemingly in the midst of a heel turn.
The Target Center in Minneapolis is the venue for SmackDown tonight.
