Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi defeated World Tag Team Champions Bron Breakker and Austin Theory in a match that took place after WWE Smackdown went off the air on August 14. Despite the win, they did not win the titles because the match ended by disqualification after Maxxine Dupri attacked Cody Rhodes. Under WWE rules, a title only changes hands by pinfall or submission, not by count-out or DQ, unless the stipulation is announced beforehand. Meanwhile, Oba Femi, who won the men's King of the Ring tournament, is yet to use his guaranteed title match. He previously faced Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam instead of a champion. Cody Rhodes, part of Smackdown, is pursuing the WWE Championship he lost at Night of Champions.
