WWE has announced a mini-tournament to determine The New Day's SmackDown Tag Team title challengers for next month's Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.

In a video that was posted by Paige today, it was revealed that two tag team triple threat matches will take place to decide which teams will advance to a number one contender's match. Whoever wins that match will challenge for New Day's SmackDown Tag Team titles at Hell in a Cell in San Antonio, Texas on September 16.

The first triple threat will be held on Tuesday's SmackDown. It will be Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Cesaro & Sheamus vs. The Colons (Epico & Primo). The participants for the other triple threat match haven't been announced, though The Usos and SAnitY would figure to be two of the teams in it.

This will be Epico's return after undergoing shoulder surgery in January.

Gallows & Anderson vs. Cesaro & Sheamus had originally been announced for Tuesday's SmackDown. Charlotte Flair defending her Women's Championship against Carmella is also set for the episode.

After Erick Rowan suffered a torn right biceps at SummerSlam, New Day won the SmackDown Tag Team titles in a no disqualification match against The Bludgeon Brothers last Tuesday.

So... the same thing they did last month, but with one extra team in each first-round match.
