Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton won the Smackdown Tag Team Titles at WWE TLC. They defeated Rhyno and Heath Slater after dominating for a majority of the match. This was the first title win of Bray Wyatt’s career but has been generating some speculation about what happened after the match.

After they won the titles, both Randy and Bray placed the belts on the shoulders of Luke Harper. Harper took a GORE from Rhyno after he saved Randy by pushing him out-of-the-way earlier in the match. This allowed Orton to hit an RKO and win the titles.
There has been a lot of rumors circulating that Orton/Wyatt giving the belts to Harper could also have some significance for their tag team title reign moving forward.

It is being speculated that the Wyatt Family are going to defend the tag team belts using the Freebird rule. This means that all three of Bray, Harper and Randy will defend the titles. This is similar to the way the New Day defends the tag belts on RAW with Big E, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston alternating.

The gesture of giving the belts to Harper at the end of the match would not mean that he is the honorary belt holder but an important part of the team as they move forward.
