Bludgeon Brothers Retain SmackDown Tag Titles vs. Usos at Greatest Royal Rumble

The Bludgeon Brothers beat The Usos at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Friday to retain the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. 

While The Usos attempted to use their speed to their advantage, the Bludgeon Brothers' power and physicality were too much to overcome, as they won with a double powerbomb.

WWE tweeted video of The Usos getting in some offense against Harper and Rowan in the losing effort:

Friday's bout marked the first title defense for Harper and Rowan since they won the SmackDown Tag Team Championships in a Triple Threat match against The Usos and New Day at WrestleMania 34.

The Bludgeon Brothers wreaked havoc on the SmackDown Live tag team division in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania, which led to their title shot on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Most notably, Harper and Rowan interrupted a championship match between The Usos and New Day at WWE Fastlane in March.

The Bludgeon Brothers decimated both teams by putting them through tables, slamming them on steps and doing every vicious thing they could think of.

After winning the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, the Bludgeon Brothers continued their destructive ways.

The Usos beat New Day to become the No. 1 contenders and earn a shot at regaining the titles, but Harper and Rowan tried to prevent them from making it to the Greatest Royal Rumble.

Perhaps the only reason Jimmy and Jey Uso were able to compete at the event was due to the intervention of Naomi.

Naomi is Jimmy's real-life wife, and she prevented the Bludgeon Brothers from further damaging The Usos on SmackDown Live a couple of weeks before the Greatest Royal Rumble.

On the go-home episode of SmackDown prior to the Greatest Royal Rumble, Naomi distracted the Bludgeon Brothers, which led to Jimmy beating Rowan in a singles match.

That gave The Usos some much-needed momentum and a fighting chance in their title opportunity at the Greatest Royal Rumble.

While The Usos have largely dominated the SmackDown Live tag team scene over the past year, however, they were once again no match for the Bludgeon Brothers on Friday.

The SmackDown tag scene is stacked with talent, but on the heels of another impressive win, it is difficult to envision any team knocking off Harper and Rowan any time soon.
