The WWE Tag Team Championship has new holders—The Motor City Machine Guns. The pairing of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin outshone The Bloodline in the headliner event of the recent WWE SmackDown episode to seize the prestigious titles.
In their initial match, MCMG trounced #DIY in the scheduled #1 contenders matchup, ensuring a title opportunity for themselves. The conclusion of the match saw The Bloodline walk down to the ringside area to face the Machine Guns. Nick Aldis, WWE SmackDown’s General Manager, then entered the ring and intervened.
Solo Sikoa seized the microphone next, stating his presence was merely to welcome the Guns to SmackDown. He then unexpectedly offered them a shot at the title there and then. Aldis disapproved, suggesting the match occur later when the triumphant team is well-rested. However, Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley opposed this idea, leading Aldis to sanction the match immediately.
Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns also impacted the match by engaging in a showdown with Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. During a referee bump, Jey Uso, masked and unnoticed, jumped into the fray, striking down both champions. The Guns capitalized on this, securing the victory. The reign of The Bloodline as champions concluded after 85 days.
Below are some notable moments from this eventful match:
