When Chad Gable was injured and American Alpha had to be taken out of the final of the SmackDown Live tag team title tournament, it led to WWE booking The Usos vs. Hype Bros in a semifinal match at Backlash tonight (Sun., Sept. 11, 2016) at the Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia. The winner would move on to the final to face Rhyno & Heath Slater later in the evening.
The Usos ditched the face paint and wore all black because, well, they’re bad guys now. They worked that way too, dominating much of the match until a hot tag to Mojo Rawley saw him clean house. They eventually cheated their way to an advantage and then did Zack Ryder just as dirty as they did Gable, attacking his leg and using a half crab to get a submission win.
It will be The Usos vs. Rhyno & Heath Slater in the tournament final.
Good with you?
