The first of the two semi-final matches was set to see Drew McIntyre & Sheamus face Hit Row on SmackDown. However, the duo got taken out by The Viking Raiders - who they defeated last week. As a result, they were unable to compete.Although Hit Row expected to have their hands raised, they were told by Adam Pearce that they wouldn't get a handout - they would have to face the replacement team instead of Drew McIntyre & Sheamus. The team happened to be none other than the former rivals turned friends Ricochet & Braun Strowman.Sportskeeda Wrestling@SKWrestling_.@Erik_WWE & @Ivar_WWE lay waste to @WWESheamus & @DMcIntyreWWE.#SmackDown #WWE146.@Erik_WWE & @Ivar_WWE lay waste to @WWESheamus & @DMcIntyreWWE.#SmackDown #WWE https://t.co/sZd4Y9L4CwAs you may know, Ricochet and Strowman had some legitimate beef on Twitter after the latter's infamous "Flippy Flop" comments on social media.WWE was clever in using this as a part of the storyline, making Ricochet an even bigger babyface than ever before. Their chemistry has certainly translated well as a tag team, as they defeated Hit Row to advance to the finals.Sportskeeda Wrestling@SKWrestling_.@KingRicochet & Strowman advance to the FINALS! #SmackDown #WWE124.@KingRicochet & Strowman advance to the FINALS! #SmackDown #WWE https://t.co/pZZQILV1QiOn the other end, Imperium put away Legado Del Fantasma in a competitive match. That means that either Ricochet & Strowman or Imperium will be The Usos' next opponents for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles.Had Drew McIntyre and Sheamus not been written out, they may have been primed for the #1 contender spot.Who would you like to see challenge The Usos?
