Preview: World Tag Team Championship Match
June 29, 2008

Since December of last year, the team of Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes has been a well-oiled machine, fighting off all who have dared to challenge them for the World Tag Team Championship. At Night of Champions they’ll have to defend their titles once again, but this time against Ted DiBiase, a Superstar they’ve never faced, and his partner, who has yet to be revealed.

Though the experienced veteran and second-generation Superstar have worked well together after an initial rivalry, recent weeks have seen their relationship begin to unravel, with their lack of synergy having cost them multiple non-title matches. Holly has blamed their losing streak on Rhodes not following his lead as the veteran of the team, and it has led to arguments between the two Superstars.

The champions’ strife began around the same time as the debut of DiBiase, son of “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase. The WWE Legend introduced his son as Raw’s newest Superstar, with the third-generation Superstar going on to claim that he planned on obtaining championship gold in his very first match against Holly & Rhodes at Night of Champions, beside a partner of his choice.

Watching the champions’ matches week after week, Ted DiBiase has noted that Holly & Rhodes aren’t on the same page. Will they be able to once again work together to successfully defend the World Tag Team Championship? And who will Ted DiBiase choose to stand by him in this title opportunity?
