5 things that could happen on SmackDown Live after Royal Rumble 2018

#4 Gable and Benjamin defend and retain their titles in a rematch

chad gable — Chad Gable defeated Jey Uso on SD Live this week

My belief is that the next chapter in this story will see Gable and Benjamin become new SmackDown Live Tag Team Champions. With the legal situation pending after Jimmy Uso’s arrest, it gives me all the more reason to believe that they won’t be keeping the titles after Sunday, but that was what I was expecting anyway.

In one last effort before we possibly don’t see the Usos on TV for a while (I could be wrong about that), Jimmy and Jey will immediately invoke their rematch clause on SmackDown. The new champions will retain their titles in what will surely be another really good match, and the reign of Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin will begin.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
