Heath Slater and Rhyno Win The SmackDown! Tag Team Championship At Backlash
09/11/2016 10:13 pm EDT
It's strange to see that in 2016, Heath Slater and Rhyno are not only the first SmackDown Tag Team Champions, but also extremely over with the WWE Universe.
After The Usos claimed victory over The Hype Bros, it quickly became the fight of Slater's career as not only were the titles on the line, but also his contract with the SmackDown! Live brand. Slater got the pinfall after Rhyno hit the Gore, solidifying his place in history as well as a proper employee on SmackDown!.
This is Slater's fourth reign as a Tag Team Champion and Rhyno's first within the WWE banner.
