The tag division of the main roster has suffered from lack of proper booking since Wrestlemania. Between the two, Smackdown Live's tag division has, comparatively, been the better brand in terms of booking their tag team division. Just marginally though.

The New Day became the new Smackdown Live's tag team champion after defeating the Bludgeon Brothers on the fallout episode of Summerslam. Smackdown GM Paige then started a tournament to determine the #1 contender for the tag championships. The Bar and Rusev Day successfully won their matches and will compete in the finals to get a ticket to Hell in a Cell.

In this article, we would be going through 5 possible outcomes that can come out of their match at the go-home show.

#5 Rusev Day wins clean

The duo of Rusev and English have been tremendously over for the past year. The fans have been clamoring for Rusev's singles push but that remains insignificant to the creatives. Rusev Day have been in the running for the tag championships for quite a while but have failed to get to the title.

Considering how over Rusev Day is, they might advance to the title match with a clean victory over The Bar and gaining momentum for Hell in a Cell.

#4 The Bar wins clean

Ever since Wrestlemania, The Bar have been pushed down the tag team ranks. They have lost a lot of momentum since then and have failed to recover. They even missed TV time after being drafted to Smackdown Live.

The Bar have been slowly gaining momentum lately and there's a good chance they might win the tournament clean and finally get a title shot to reclaim their position as the top tag team.

#3 Distraction by Lana, The Bar wins

The scuffle between Lana and English has been well documented on WWE TV. There have been differences between them as Lana thinks that English is holding her husband back which have led to miscommunication between Rusev and English in the past.

Lana and English might again be at odds during the match which might create enough distraction for The Bar to capitalise upon.

#2 English turns on Rusev, The Bar wins

As discussed in the previous slide, English and Lana have not been on the same page causing Rusev to request that English stay out of his matches. Things may seem to be aligned at the moment but that's when the best turns happen.

English might get tired of Lana and Rusev, and attack his teammate, which The Bar could capitalize on and win. This would also result in a pre-show match up between them.

#1 Double Disqualification

Triple-threat matches for the tag titles have become a trend in recent times in WWE, especially when the New Day is involved. A double disqualification might result in a triple-threat match for the title at Hell in a Cell.

The New Day are most probably going to be at the announcer's table. During the match, they might get into a scuffle with both the teams causing a double disqualification which would prompt GM Paige to make it a triple-threat.
