Not too long ago, the MCMG ruled the roost on WWE’s blue brand’s tag team division. Their quick ascension and subsequent win over The Bloodline showcased their prowess and potential. However, they eventually lost their titles to Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, aka #DIY, who then succumbed to the current champions, The Street Profits. This sequence of events involved a barrage of backstage attacks, betrayals, and utter chaos that put general manager Nick Aldis in a tight spot.
The date or venue for Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin’s championship match against Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford is still pending an official announcement. While it isn’t expected to be part of WrestleMania 41, there’s a high probability it will occur on an upcoming SmackDown episode within the fortnight.
