WWE veteran slams The Bloodline's SmackDown match; claims a predictable result ruined the contest (Exclusive)

Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell spoke about The Bloodline standing tall to become the number one contenders for the Tag Team Championships.

The tag team contenders were decided in a Gauntlet Match this week on SmackDown. The team of Baron Corbin & Apollo Crews, Legado Del Fantasma, The Street Profits, Pretty Deadly, The O.C. and The Bloodline all competed for a shot at championship gold.

This week on Smack Talk, Mantell felt the Tag Team Tournament didn't intrigue him. The veteran claimed the contest was predictable and knew The Bloodline would win the Gauntlet Match. He felt no one was standing up to Solo and his associates.

"Toward the top of the hour when they had the tag team tournament or whatever they had, that slowed it down. It wasn't bad but it wasn't enough to keep my attention. I knew who was going to win it. I don't see the Tribal Chief and his guys getting beat anytime soon." [From 17:29 onwards]

Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga tore the house down with their power-packed style, taking down an already spent Street Profits.

Now the faction will square off against Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
