Another title match has been added to the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin were upset with being “screwed” out of the Smackdown Tag Team Championships last week and Gable sarcastically said that maybe they would have to beat them twice to get the belts. Well, Daniel Bryan granted them their wish. The Usos will defend the Smackdown Tag Team Championships in a 2-out-of-3 falls match.
