“The best in the world” Shane McMahon comes out to the ring. He wants to address the vacant tag titles on Smackdown. Shane says he’s been asking himself who would be worthy of being the champs. And when he thought about it, the obvious answer hit him clearly. So he introduces his newly anointed Tag Team Champs, Daniel Bryan & Rowan. As the two of them get to the ring, The Usos music hits and they come out to dispute this turn of events. The Usos say they worked too hard in that tag division to see the titles just handed over to those undeserving.
The next, DESERVING #SDLive #TagTeamChampions are… @WWEDanielBryan & @ERICKROWAN?!? #SDLive pic.twitter.com/C8rmuZ2xKh
