We have new Tag Team Champions on SmackDown Live, with the Bludgeon Brothers of Luke Harper and Eric Rowan battering aside The New Day and the defending champion Usos to win their first tag team titles as a duo.
Wrestlemania results 2018: The Bludgeon Brothers hammer their way to SmackDown Tag Team gold
It’s a new and brutal era on SmackDown Live.
The Usos and New Day put aside their long-standing rivalry to try and work together at times to slow Harper and Rowan down, but there was little they could do to stop the onslaught. From the moment they got to the ring, the Bludgeon Brothers asserted their physical dominance, throwing Big E around like he was nothing and almost breaking one of the ring posts with Xavier Woods’ back.
The Usos did have a moment where they nearly got Eric Rowan out of the match, but Luke Harper rallied strongly and shut them down in a hurry. Then all that was left standing was Kofi Kingston, and while Kofi is a very talented wrestler, he cannot beat Harper and Rowan on his own.
Harper has tasted WWE gold before — he’s a one-time Intercontinental Champion and won the SmackDown tag titles last year with Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton — but this is the first time he and Rowan have won tag titles together despite how many times they’ve been aligned with each other. They had multiple long feuds with the Usos over the WWE Tag Team titles more than four years ago, but despite putting on several great matches they never managed to win. Now, with a new look and a new attitude, Harper and Rowan stand atop the mountain of SmackDown Live tag team division.
