#4 Otis-Gable refreshes the tag team division on SmackDown

Otis and Gable

A fresh pairing of Otis and Chad Gable has officially emerged on SmackDown. This new duo could give the tag team division a lift fans have hoped to see. The seeds for this duo were planted in last week's main event, where Reigns brutally assaulted Otis. Gable soon came out to help the former Money in the Bank briefcase briefcase holder. This development paved the way for their alliance.

While the duo was unsuccessful in beating the crafty veterans, Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro, they did manage to impress with their chemistry in the ring. They are a much-needed addition to SmackDown's tag division, which has been languishing for some time now.

With the addition of this duo, a good number of teams are breathing new life into SmackDown. Baron Corbin's "Knights of the Lone Wolf" are another fresh combination. Murphy could add another team with either Rey or Dominik Mysterio. With the current champions, The Street Profits, also taking on Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode next week, the tag team picture seems to be booming.
