WWE announced on Saturday that Shane McMahon will crown new WWE SmackDown! Live Tag-Team Champions on this Tuesday’s episode of SmackDown! Live. Of course, Matt and Jeff Hardy were forced to relinquish the belts last week due to Jeff’s knee surgery, which will keep him on the shelf for 6-9 months. WWE said,
“SmackDown LIVE was thrown for a loop last week when, due to Jeff Hardy sustaining a knee injury at the hands of Lars Sullivan, The Hardy Boyz had to relinquish the SmackDown Tag Team Titles. With the state of both the blue brand’s tag team division and the titles in question, Shane McMahon will arrive on SmackDown LIVE this Tuesday to crown new SmackDown Tag Team Champions.”
