The tag team match had already become even more important after Adam Pearce announced that a win for Sami and GUNTHER would change the Undisputed WWE Championship match at SummerSlam into a Fatal 4-Way. That meant the stakes were much higher than just a regular tag team match. Sami Zayn was still frustrated after his nine-day reign as Undisputed WWE Champion ended at the hands of…
