Sure, the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Street Profits are incredible in the ring. However, a champion is only as strong as his/her challengers. As we have seen on both WWE SmackDown and RAW, the tag team division is often an afterthought.

The Street Profits can potentially mix it up with Bobby Roode and Dolph Ziggler for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships. They can also have great matches with Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura. (They already have.) But there will come a point when they run out of heel teams to face. Here, this new version of The Forgotten Sons comes into play.

The hooded men King Corbin brought ringside turned out to be Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler, the former two-thirds of the Forgotten Sons, whom we haven't seen in recent months. King Corbin is in good hands, even at the Mysterio family's and Murphy's expense. #SmackDown

To have Cutler and Blake get benched as a result of Jaxson Ryker's actions would have been unfair to these two talented young men. They, too, could have great matches against The Street Profits at some point in the future. King Corbin giving his boys the unfair advantage completes this recipe for a pretty good tag team title feud on WWE SmackDown.
