As a result, "SmackDown Live" was left without a tag team title. On the August 23, 2016 episode of "SmackDown Live", Shane McMahon introduced the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. A tournament was created for determined the first champions. The final match occurred at Backlash on September 11, 2016, and Heath Slater and Rhyno beat The Usos to won the title.
