WWE announces matches to decide New Day’s next challengers

WWE has announced a mini-tournament to determine The New Day’s SmackDown Tag Team title challengers for next month’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.

In a video that was posted by Paige today, it was revealed that two tag team triple threat matches will take place to decide which teams will advance to a number one contender’s match. Whoever wins that match will challenge for New Day’s SmackDown Tag Team titles at Hell in a Cell in San Antonio, Texas on September 16.

The first triple threat will be held on Tuesday’s SmackDown. It will be Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Cesaro & Sheamus vs. The Colons (Epico & Primo). The participants for the other triple threat match haven’t been announced, though The Usos and SAnitY would figure to be two of the teams in it.

This will be Epico’s return after undergoing shoulder surgery in January.

Gallows & Anderson vs. Cesaro & Sheamus had originally been announced for Tuesday’s SmackDown. Charlotte Flair defending her Women’s Championship against Carmella is also set for the episode.

After Erick Rowan suffered a torn right biceps at SummerSlam, New Day won the SmackDown Tag Team titles in a no disqualification match against The Bludgeon Brothers last Tuesday.

Zack Ryder returning to action on WWE Money in the Bank pre-show

Zack Ryder will be wrestling in his first match since December on the Money in the Bank pre-show.

WWE announced today that Ryder will be teaming with Mojo Rawley against The Colons on Sunday. Ryder returned to television on this week’s SmackDown for the first time since undergoing major knee surgery in December.

He reunited with Rawley on SmackDown and the two agreed to re-form their Hype Bros team. In the match where Ryder injured his knee, they had won a number one contender’s tag team battle royal. That was mentioned on Talking Smack on Tuesday, with them both saying that they wanted to go after the SmackDown tag titles.

The Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri will host Money in the Bank on Sunday. The card for the show is:

  • WWE Champion Jinder Mahal defending against Randy Orton
  • AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn vs. Baron Corbin vs. Dolph Ziggler in a Money in the Bank ladder match
  • Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch vs. Natalya vs. Carmella vs. Tamina in a Money in the Bank ladder match
  • SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi defending against Lana
  • SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos defending against The New Day
  • The Hype Bros vs. The Colons (kickoff show)
