The bitter rivalry between the longest-reigning Tag Team Champions in WWE history and the battling brothers from Samoa has been wildly unpredictable, and the volatility between the squads has seemingly grown by the week. Amidst a mixture rap battles and other outrageous attempts by both combinations to establish themselves at Team Blue’s top team, The New Day seized the SmackDown Tag Team Titles from The Usos at WWE Battleground. Big E and Xavier Woods were then unseated by the Samoan warriors at SummerSlam Kickoff. This led to a brutal showdown on the Sept. 12 Sin City Street Fight in Las Vegas, which once again returned the illustrious titles to the larger-than-life trio.

However, the rivalry between the two teams was over. After The Usos invoked their rematch clause and got in the faces of the champions, The New Day recalled their challengers’ talk of the Uso Penitentiary and said they wanted to take that to the next level, issuing the challenge to lock themselves inside the harrowing structure that endangers careers.
