a fatal four-way tag team match, thus earning an opportunity to face the New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston) for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at Super ShowDown, winning the titles on February 27. On March 8, the duo had their first title defense against five other teams in the second-ever tag team Elimination Chamber match at the Elimination Chamber event, eliminating the New Day and the Usos themselves at the end of the match to retain the title.
