Six-Team TLC Match: The Ultimate Showdown

The WWE has confirmed a blockbuster TLC match for the WWE Tag Team Titles at SummerSlam 2025.

This match was announced on the July 25 episode of WWE SmackDown, following a chaotic brawl that erupted after a match between The Wyatt Sicks and Andrade & Rey Fenix ended in a disqualification. The brawl involved multiple teams, leading SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis to intervene and announce the TLC match to settle the rivalry once and for all[1][3].

“According to a WWE insider, the decision to include a six-team TLC match was made to create a climactic moment at SummerSlam, capitalizing on the momentum built from recent tag team storylines,” a source revealed. “The TLC format offers endless possibilities for drama and action, making it an ideal choice for such a high-profile event.”

“Fans are always eager to celebrate the legacy of Hulk Hogan, and this new merchandise offers them a chance to show their admiration in style,” said a WWE spokesperson. “We’re excited to see Hulkamania run wild once again, especially with the added energy of SummerSlam 2025.”
