The Hype Brothers of Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley has just become the no.1 contender for the SmackDown Live tag-team championships currently held by the Wyatt Family (Luke Harper, Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt) after besting five other tag-teams last Tuesday in Washington D.C.

Marc Middleton provides blow-by-blow commentary on the no.1 contenders match:

--We go to the ring and out comes Chad Gable and Jason Jordan. Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley are out next. Back to commercial. Back from the break and Tyler Breeze is out with Fandango. Konnor and Viktor are also in the ring as are Simon Gotch and Aiden English. Rhyno and Heath Slater are out next.

--The bell rings and Gotch is immediately eliminated. The match continues as everyone goes at it. The next elimination sees Gable toss Viktor several minutes later. Konnor comes right over and eliminates Gable. Rhyno fights off Breezango on the apron. Slater jumps at them but accidentally hits Rhyno and knocks him off the apron. Rhyno is eliminated. Slater can't believe it as we go to commercial.

--Back from the break and Jordan saves himself. Jordan eliminates English from the apron. The Vaudevillains are the first team to be eliminated. Fandango and Slater go at it on the apron now. Slater sweeps him and Fandango is eliminated.

Jordan is the next man eliminated. Mojo was also eliminated at one point. American Alpha is out of the match. It's down to Konnor, Breeze, Slater and Ryder. They attack Ryder. Slater and Breeze go at it now. Konnor eliminates Slater. Konnor eliminates Breeze several minutes later. Ryder counters a move and sends Konnor over the top to win it.


With the victory, the Hype Bros. will have the chance to snatch the tag-team titles from the Wyatt Family. Unfortunately, with the news that Zack Ryder suffered a knee injury during the match, it's unknown which SmackDown tag-teams will face Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt for the tag-team gold.
