Just like the Raw Tag Team titles, the Smackdown Tag Team
titles are no longer and they have now been rebranded as the
WWE Tag Team titles.
Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Smackdown GM Nick Aldis
presided over the presentation of the new belts to Austin
Theory and Grayson Waller last night on Smackdown after the
two won them in the six-pack ladder match at WrestleMania
XL.
While the World Tag Team titles carry the same design as the
men’s World and women’s World titles over at Raw, the newly-
released WWE Tag Team titles have a different look from the
male and female versions of the titles on Smackdown, and
actually resemble the old titles that were used by the likes
of The Hart Foundation, Demolition, Legion of Doom, and
others.
The champions also got to learn their new number one
contenders after a four-way elimination tag team match
between AOP, New Catch Republic, The Street Profits, and
Legado del Fantasma took place on the show. The Street
Profits won that match and will now face A-Town Down Under
in their first title defense.
