According to Dave Meltzer, the veteran team is scheduled to compete on next Tuesday's edition of SmackDown from Dallas, TX as part of the tournament to crown the brand's first tag team champions of the new era. The tournament was announced at the beginning of last Tuesday's SmackDown, with American Alpha, The Usos, The Hype Bros, Breezango, The Ascension, and The Vaudevillains originally completing the field. But it was expanded when Heath Slater's free agency storyline was furthered. Slater was given the chance to enter the tournament if he could find a partner. He formed a team with Rhyno, which meant that another team would be included as well. If Slater and Rhyno win the entire tournament, Slater will be added to the SmackDown roster. The Headbangers (Mosh and Thrasher) briefly held the WWF Tag Team Championship in 1997. The team was disbanded in 2000 after Thrasher was released, and Mosh met the same fate a year later. They reunited as a team on the independent scene in 2011 and have made sporadic indie appearances, along with a few appearances for Ring of Honor, since. The duo announced on social media yesterday that they were scheduled to compete in the tournament.
