Another WWE SmackDown match ended in controversy? Reflecting on the actual winnerÂ
The latest episode of SmackDown witnessed an explosive match in the main event of the show when Kevin Owens and the Street Profits took on The Bloodline in six-man tag team action. However, the match ended in a rather controversial fashion when the referee called for the bell due to the pandemonium that broke out ringside. It was the second match of the night that ended in controversy after the Tornado Tag Team match of Bayley and Naomi against Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton.
During the final moments of the tag team match, Kevin Owens and Tama Tonga were battling each other in the ring. The Prizefighter found an opening and hit the 41-year-old with a Stunner. However, just as he tried to pin the latter, Tonga Loa intercepted and dragged Owens out of the ring. The Infamous One then shoved KO into the steel steps, which led the referee to end the match with a disqualification.
Therefore, Kevin Owens and Street Profits should conventionally be declared the winners of the six-man tag team bout on the blue brand tonight considering that the bout ended in a disqualification. However, it is noteworthy that there was no announcement from the ring announcer, Alicia Taylor, or the commentary team regarding the winners of the match.
It is still unclear whether the referee called for the bell to end the tag team match in 'no-contest' or a 'disqualification.' However, complete pandemonium broke out at the arena in Sacramento, California, following the match as The Bloodline wreaked havoc on Owens and The Street Profits. All six superstars turned the blue brand into a warzone, leaving trails of destruction in their wake.
WWE may have teased a championship feud for The Bloodline on SmackDown
The Bloodline currently holds the WWE Tag Team Championship hostage as Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa have the coveted title around their waists. However, they could be on the verge of losing their title, as the company may have teased a championship feud for the duo on the latest edition of SmackDown.
Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa could once again reignite their tag team feud with D.I.Y. and The Street Profits. The speculation arose after the heel faction obliterated Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa backstage when the babyface duo stepped up to team up with Kevin Owens.
Furthermore, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins then came to the aid of Owens on SmackDown when The Prizefighter was on the receiving end of a vicious attack by The Bloodline. Therefore, it appears that D.I.Y. and Street Profits may have unfinished business with the Samoan faction.
This could lead to both tag teams setting out in pursuit of the WWE Tag Team Championship, reigniting their feud with Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. It will be interesting to see how things shape up on SmackDown in the coming weeks.
