The latest WWE SmackDown episode featured a highly anticipated Fatal Four-Way match to determine the next contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship, amid ongoing turmoil within the SmackDown tag team division caused by The Wyatt Sicks. This match included teams DIY, Motor City Machine Guns, Fraxiom, and the newly formed duo of Andrade and Rey Fenix battling for a title shot.
Context Behind the Fatal Four-Way Match and Tag Team Rivalries
The previous week’s SmackDown saw The Wyatt Sicks claim the tag team titles by overcoming The Street Profits. This set the stage for a fierce contest among the challengers, with Andrade and Rey Fenix ultimately securing the victory. Their win disrupts the division’s status quo and schedules them for a championship match against The Wyatt Sicks next week, though the dominant group is unlikely to lose their titles so soon after winning them.
Vince Russo Expresses Disdain for the Match Dynamics
Wrestling personality Vince Russo shared his critical thoughts on this Fatal Four-Way bout during a segment on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s BroDown. Russo described his frustration watching the match unfold, particularly because wrestlers appeared incapacitated simultaneously after exchanging finishers, a scenario he found unrealistic and unconvincing.
“When you when you’re having a match and there are eight guys down, get the like it’s so stupid, man. It is so ridiculously stupid that they’re all hitting each other with their finishes and everybody’s down and everybody’s selling. And when they’re down and selling, you see them talking to each other. This is what I’m talking about, Mac. I feel like such an idiot when I watch, you know, bro. I swear to God, I really feel less stupid watching Roadrunner and Wile E Coyote,” Russo said. —Vince Russo, Wrestling personality

This confrontation will reveal whether the champions solidify their dominance or if the challengers can seize the titles, keeping fans anticipating the evolving storyline in the division.
