SmackDown Preview: Jeff Hardy battles Sheamus in a Bar Fight, build-up to the Extreme Rules title rematch to intensify? (July 24, 2020)

#5 Newly crowned SmackDown Tag Team Champions address the WWE Universe

Nakamura and Cesaro will look to celebrate their well-deserved win

The Horror Show at Extreme Rules saw the team of Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro pick a brilliant win over the New Day in a brutal SmackDown Tag Team Title match. The newly crowned champions are now expected to address the rest of the division and the WWE Universe on SmackDown tonight.

After winning their match, Cesaro and Nakamura refrained from speaking in the interview. They probably want to talk to their future challengers directly, and tonight, we will get a taste of their potential as the champions. They are both incredible Superstars and deserve a good reign with the titles they won on Sunday night.

There’s also a chance that WWE will book a title rematch between the Champions and the New Day. While Kofi Kingston and Big E are two of the best performers in WWE today, they just had a lengthy reign and are not an immediate need of another title run.

Cesaro and Nakamura, on the other hand, have waited on the sidelines for a long time. It would be better if the heel duo have good feuds with other SmackDown tag team before they eventually drop their titles.
