Any fans who have watched Smackdown recently know that Rhyno - currently one half of the Smackdown Tag Team Champions along with Heath Slater - is embroiled in another contest at the moment.

The final champion of the original ECW, Rhyno announced in March that he was seeking the 15th District seat for Michigan's House of Representatives. Running as a Republican, Rhyno received Vince McMahon's support and ultimately captured the party's nomination. As the incumbent, Democrat George Darany, will be stepping down due to meeting his term limits, running for the Democratic Party will be Abdullah Hammoud.

What will happen to Rhyno? Well, sooner or later, he and Heath Slater will probably lose the titles to The Usos, setting up a program with American Alpha for them. As for the race, we'll find out on Tuesday.
