Life has been good to Shinsuke Nakamura & Cesaro as SmackDown Tag Team Champions, but Gran Metalik & Lince Dorado are intent on crashing that party.
Lucha House Party will aim to shut down the “Champion’s Lounge” when they challenge Nakamura & Cesaro for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles. The tandems have gone back in forth in singles action in the past two weeks as Cesaro first crushed Lince Dorado, and Gran Metalik then walked the ropes to a win against The King of Strong Style. The King of the Ropes was aided by the surprising return of Kalisto who neutralized The Swiss Cyborg outside the ring.
Will Lucha House Party finally get their hands on the titles? Or will Nakamura & Cesaro be toasting another victory?
Tune in to Friday Night SmackDown on FOX at 8/7 C to see the title showdown.
The luchadors have competed in many singles matches in the past couple of weeks. Taking the return of Kalisto into account, the tag team is looking stronger than ever. If luck stays in their favor, WWE Universe will witness a title change on the go-home edition of SmackDown.
