Finn Balor & Damian Priest were able to take the WWE Tag Team Championships away from Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, and tonight face new foes in the form of Jey Uso & Cody Rhodes.
This uneasy alliance was formed when Rhodes pulled some strings to get Uso back into WWE as part of Monday Night RAW, and tonight they look to both earn another reign as Tag Team Champions.
Jey was key in preventing Rhodes from defeating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania – but they’re ready to co-exist tonight as they face a common enemy.
