The SmackDown Tag Team Champions will be in action tonight on SmackDown Live!

We’re just a few hours away from tonight’s newest WWE SmackDown Live from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. While we know that AJ Styles and SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch will both be back on the blue brand this evening (check out the SmackDown Live Preview), we had yet to hear of any matches for the show.

Today, one match has now been announced as SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar will meet The Usos, who look to get themselves right back into title contention. Here is WWE’s official announcement on the match:

The Usos continued their hot streak by notching a victory over The New Day to earn the captaincy of Team SmackDown at Survivor Series, then leading Team Blue to victory in the 10-on-10 Tag Team Elimination Match against Team Raw by emerging as the bout’s sole survivors.

Now, Jimmy & Jey Uso will turn their attention toward Team Blue’s top tandem: SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bar. These two teams will clash in non-title action Tuesday night. Can The Usos thrust themselves back into the title picture, or will Sheamus & Cesaro prove why they set the bar for tag teams?

Will The Usos get a big win or will The Bar keep momentum rolling? Let us know on social media @theCHAIRSHOTcom and always remember to use the hashtag #UseYourHead!

Jason shuffles into Monday with the Chairshot Wrestling News Shuffle! Today we take a look at news on Chris Jericho/IMPACT, AEW Ticket Sales, Becky Lynch, and more!

More On IMPACT Offer To Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho was recently a guest on Wrestling Observer Radio, and during the broadcast he discussed the offer that IMPACT wrestling made to him a few months ago: (credit to Fightful for the transcription below)

“In my mind, from a pure business standpoint, I’m worth as much as Brock Lesnar to WWE as far as what I bring to the table. That’s the watermark that I had. For me to go back to Vince, I want that kind of a deal. When I was starting to talk with Tony (Khan) and New Japan and Impact as well– Impact offered me a hell of a deal for a four match series. We’re talking mid-seven figures. They have some cash as well.”

AEW Double Or Nothing Ticket Sale Notes

Why The Women Didn’t Headline Elimination Chamber

Initially, it was thought that the historic Women’s Tag Team Championship match would headline the Elimination Chamber pay per view, however, according to Fightful, Vince McMahon made the change to swap the match out with the men’s Elimination Chamber match. McMahon felt the women’s match would get the reaction desired to close out the show.

Becky Lynch Re-Injures Knee At Live Event

While it appears to be only in storyline, Becky Lynch appeared to re-injure her knee after attempting to attach Charlotte Flair at a house show Saturday evening.

WWE Elimination Chamber WWE Championship Match

Six men fought it out in the main event of WWE Elimination Chamber for The New Daniel Bryan’s WWE Championship. Did the Planet’s Champion retain?

The six men involved were:

Kofi Kingston (with Big E and Xavier Woods, starting in the near right pod)
Jeff Hardy (starting in the far right pod)
Randy Orton (starting in the near left pod)
AJ Styles (starting in the near left pod)
Samoa Joe (starting in the ring)
WWE Champion Daniel Bryan (with Eric Rowan, starting in the ring)

.@SamoaJoe is competing inside the #WWEChamber for the first time in his @WWE career.

Does he have an advantage? All 4 of the last 4 (non-tag) Elimination Chamber matches have been won by first time entrants.

Kofi Kingston was THE fan’s favorite headed into this match. But he started in a pod, as the first two men in the match were Samoa Joe and WWE Champion Daniel Bryan (the Ring Of Honor fan in me is happy).
