WWE to crown new SmackDown tag team champions next week

As per an announcement from the company website, next week’s episode of SmackDown Live will feature the crowning of new tag team champions:

SmackDown LIVE was thrown for a loop last week when, due to Jeff Hardy sustaining a knee injury at the hands of Lars Sullivan, The Hardy Boyz had to relinquish the SmackDown Tag Team Titles.

With the state of both the blue brand’s tag team division and the titles in question, Shane McMahon will arrive on SmackDown LIVE this Tuesday to crown new SmackDown Tag Team Champions.

That almost makes it sound like Shane O’Mac will simply show up and hand a team the titles. There are plenty of ways WWE can go about this, and considering the ratings it’s probably better to make us tune in to find out.

The rest of SmackDown will include:

• Kevin Owens responds to Kofi Kingston last week
• Bayley & Ember Moon & Carmella vs. Charlotte Flair & Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville
• Andrade vs. Ali
