Right after the Raw Tag Team Championship changed hands at WWE Clash Of Champions, so did the Smackdown ones.
The Xavier Woods and Big E, who went into the match as the champs, had been feuding with the Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder), in conjunction with their New Day brother WWE Champion Kofi Kingston’s feud with Randy Orton. Wilder and Dawson had teamed up with the Viper to form a sort of alliance to end the power of positivity, brutalizing the New Day on both Raw and Smackdown.
