A Smackdown Tag Team Championship match has been teased for Wrestlemania 38 where the team of Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs are likely to challenge the champions The Usos at the Show of Shows. This weeks SmackDown on FOX episode witnessed The Usos cut a promo on how theres no one worthy in the locker room to challenge them.

Bengaluru, March 12: A Smackdown Tag Team Championship match has been teased for Wrestlemania 38 where the team of Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs are likely to challenge the champions The Usos at the Show of Shows.

This week’s SmackDown on FOX episode witnessed The Usos cut a promo on how there’s no one worthy in the locker room to challenge them at The Grandest Stage of Them All. Nakamura and Boogs interrupted as they had problems with The Usos’s claim.

The Usos then ruled that if Boogs could defeat Jey Uso in a singles contest, then Nakamura and Boogs would receive a title match at WrestleMania 38. Boogs eventually pinned Jey with his Boogs Cruise powerslam but Jey smashed him in the back with a guitar shot to end the segment.

WWE is yet to officially announce this match at Wrestlemania 38 card but at this point, Nakamura and Boogs stand as the number-one contenders for the Smackdown tag team titles.

The Usos were initially rumoured to defend their titles in a multi-team match at WrestleMania 38 but the lineup should be Boogs and Nakamura vs. The Usos. There’s no update either on which night this match will take place.



Speaking of the tag titles, Sasha Banks and Naomi vs. Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley vs. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Carmella and Queen Zelina Vega Triple Threat lineup could be changed at Night Two of WrestleMania 38.

Per the reports of the Wrestling Observer, Carmella and Vega will defend their titles in a Fatal-4-Way, meaning there will be the fourth team. One of the fourth team members is scheduled to include Natalya but her tag partner is yet to be decided.

It’s expected that she will end up teaming with either Shotzi or Shayna Baszler from Smackdown. In fact, Nattie and Baszler featured in a tag team match against Banks and Naomi but they lost the match.

Sonya Deville is now considered to be Natalya’s tag team partner so that her feud with Naomi could be ongoing. Plus, this will also allow Deville to get involved at WrestleMania 38 in some capacity.

The women’s tag team match was formed as a standard tag team bout. Then on Raw, Morgan, and Ripley were added as they defeated the champs in a non-title bout.



WrestleMania 38 will take place on Saturday, April 2, and Sunday, April 3 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Dallas, Texas. The current card for the show is given below,
