The Heath Slater and Rhyno SmackDown Tag Team Championship reign is over, and it is unlikely that many will be disappointed. Whilst the duo are still extremely likeable the pairing may have run its course, and switching the titles to the Wyatt Family here was certainly the right move. Beauty and the Man Beast will go down as one of 2016’s strangest success stories, but all stories come to an end.

You would have got long odds on Heath Slater and Rhyno having a tag title reign in any year let alone 2016, but it is the least that a company man like Slater deserves. He has been a vital cog in the WWE wheel for years now, and despite the fairly underwhelming feel of the title reign this will surely set him up for bigger things in 2017.

Slater and Rhyno must go their separate ways now, but hopefully they won’t feud with each other. Sometimes friendships can last in professional wrestling, you know.

Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
