 #1 New Titles Revealed

Championship presentation

Smackdown Live kicks off with the tag team and women’s roster in the ring, and the 2 new championships. Shane and Bryan start off by talking about the Smackdown Women’s Championship. The crowd is largely in favour of Becky Lynch. Shane then states that there will be a Six-pack challenge at Backlash to determine the first ever Smackdown Women’s Championship. 

Moving to the Smackdown Tag Team Championship, Shane and Bryan announce that there will be a tournament culminating at Backlash, to become the new Smackdown Tag Team Championship.

The hottest free agent Heath Slater comes out from the crowd and once more talks about wanting a contract, looking at the two new championship belts. Bryan says that Slater “isn’t equipped” to challenge for the Smackdown Championship. Shane then says that he isn’t equipped to challenge for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship either, but tells him that if he can find a partner in the locker room to challenge, and they win the tournament. Only then will Slater get a Smackdown Live. Slater departs and goes back.

AJ Styles then interferes saying that he is the new face that runs the place, and he is attacked by Dolph Ziggler from behind. The other tag teams in the ring are forced to break it up.
