This Friday at 8/7 CT on a special Thanksgiving edition of SmackDown, WWE.com has learned that WWE Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes & Goldust will put their coveted titles on the line against former champions Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns, and El Torito will make his in-ring debut!
Some might credit The Shield members’ title opportunity to be the result of their victory over the Rhodes brothers & Rey Mysterio in Six-Man Tag Team action on Raw Monday night, in addition to Roman Reigns becoming the sole survivor in their Traditional Elimination Tag Team Match 24 hours earlier. However, some may argue that Reigns & Rollins have not done enough to earn their opportunity at reclaiming the championship gold on the festive episode of the blue brand.
As if that wasn’t enough reason to tune in to SmackDown, the fast-paced El Torito will be in action for the first time this Friday night! The WWE Universe has been in the pint-sized charger’s corner ever since he and Los Matadores stepped into WWE’s spotlight last September – with El Torito launching post-match attacks on several Superstars. And now WWE.com can confirm that El Torito will team with Los Matadores in a high-octane match against “The Plymouth Rockers” – the artists usually known as 3MB.
