There are new WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions and it’s Shane McMahon and The Miz.
The unlikely pairing has earned their first set of WWE gold as a tag team once they beat The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro) at Sunday’s (January 27, 2019) WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event in Phoenix, Arizona at Chase Field on the WWE Network.

The pairing of these two stars from McMahon and Miz all started at the WWE Crown Jewel pay-per-view event once McMahon won the WWE World Cup, which saw him replace The Miz in the finals. This led to Miz going after the desire to form a tag team with McMahon with the idea of them having the potential to be the best tag team in the world.
Time will tell whether WWE continues this feud or goes into a different direction heading into the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event next month at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
