Six-man tag match announced for next week’s WWE SmackDown

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A six-man tag team match has been announced for next week’s SmackDown in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston, and a mystery partner will take on the Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Ridge Holland, and Butch). This follows events that took place on tonight’s edition of SmackDown.

Woods had defeated Butch in a singles match on tonight’s show when Sheamus and Ridge Holland appeared on the entrance ramp, taunting Woods. This distracted Woods long enough for Butch, who went into the crowd, to come back and attack Woods from behind. In a backstage promo, Woods said that he was tired of playing the numbers game. He said while Big E was still recovering thanks to Holland, he had a partner that would even the odds.

In the weeks since WrestleMania 38, the Brawling Brutes have continued to feud with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. On last week’s SmackDown, Butch defeated Kofi Kingston in a singles match, leading to tonight’s match where Woods defeated Butch.
