WWE Raw Preview - Tag Team Title Rematch Set For Tonight
The Hardy Boyz have invoked their rematch clause.
Eight days after dropping the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships to Sheamus and Cesaro at Extreme Rules, The Hardy Boyz have secured their rematch. The two teams will collide on tonight's episode of Raw, according to the official show preview on WWE.com.
As per the announcement:-
“The Hardy Boyz invoke their rematch clause against new titleholders Cesaro & Sheamus this Monday night, live on Raw. Last Monday, The Celtic Warrior boasted that Matt & Jeff were 'sitting at home, licking their wounds — Jeff gluing in his false tooth — just dreaming about their rematch.' This Monday night, the dream becomes a reality much sooner than the champions likely anticipated.”
Matt and Jeff returned to the company in stunning fashion at WrestleMania 33 (April 2nd), when they overcame Enzo Amore and Big Cass, Sheamus and Cesaro, and champions Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson in a four-way ladder match. They successfully defended the belts against their European rivals at Payback 2017, but were defeated inside a steel cage at Extreme Rules.
This is Sheamus and Cesaro's second reign as champions, having previously ended The New Day's record-breaking 483-day run last December. The duo turned heel by attacking the Hardys after their Payback loss, and were in boastful form on last week's show, with Matt and Jeff absent ahead of the birth of Matt's second child.
The latest speculation suggests that Great Balls Of Fire (July 9th) will be a rematch-heavy PPV, with the two teams facing-off for the gold once again. Thus, there's a strong chance tonight's match will end with an inconclusive finish to maintain their heat.
