Heath Slater and Rhyno have advanced to the final of the Smackdown Tag Team Tournament at Backlash - but American Alpha were scuppered by The Usos.

Slater and Rhyno knocked off The Hype Bros in one of Tuesday's semi-finals - Rhyno sealing the win with a Gore on Zack Ryder - to reach Sunday's championship bout.

American Alpha were set to be their opponents but Jason Jordan and Chad Gable were ambushed by The Usos shortly after beating them with their Grand Amplitude move.

Jimmy and Jey Uso targeted Gable's leg and the 2012 Olympian will now miss Backlash after sustaining a knee injury that will sideline him for two to four weeks.

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan later announced that beaten semi-finalists The Usos and The Hype Bros will face off at Backlash, with the victors tackling Slater and Rhyno later in the night.

Slater will be awarded an official Smackdown contract if he and Rhyno become the inaugural Smackdown Tag Team Champions, live on Sky Sports Box Office on Sunday evening.
