WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship

The WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship is a championship, created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE on the Smackdown brand.

History
Acting general manager Daniel Bryan announced the belts in a tweet and officially unveiled them on the August 23, 2016 edition of SmackDown.

It is a counter title to the WWE Tag Team Championship on Raw, and although the belt's design is largely, the plates are silver instead of bronze, with a blue strap.

A multi-team tournament will commence between The Usos, The Ascension, The Hype Bros, The Vaudevillains, American Alpha, Breezango and the "free agent" Heath Slater will be involved as well, if he can find a tag team partner soon.

2016 Tournament
It was announced on the August 23, 2016 edition of Smackdown in Uncasville, Connecticut that a tag team tournament will take place to determine the new champions.
