The Motor City Machine Guns are the new WWE Tag Team Champions.
MCMG’s Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin defeated The Bloodline’s Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa to become the new tag team champions. Earlier in the show, Shelly and Sabin won a No. 1 contender’s Tag Team Championship Match against DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa).
Below is an excerpt from Roy Nemer’s full WWE SmackDown recap of how it all went down:
Back from commercial, Loa with a powerslam onto Shelley. Tonga and Loa climb the top rope and go for a double splash but Shelley moves out of the way. Solo gets on the ring apron but a man in a black hoodie drags him down and throws him into the ring steps and it’s Jimmy Uso. He hits Jacob Fatu with a super kick but Solo throws Jimmy into the ring post.
Roman’s music hits and out comes Roman Reigns. He hits Jacob Fatu with a Superman Punch. Jimmy with a right hand onto Solo. The fans chant “OTC”. All four men fight to the back. Sabin is tagged in and he climbs the top rope. A drop kick onto Tonga. He goes for a splash onto Tonga but Tonga grabs the referee and Sabin hits the splash on the referee. Loa grabs two steel chairs and someone dressed in black stands behind Loa. He hits Loa with a super kick and he throws him over the announce table. He hits Tonga with a steel chair and the spear. Jey Uso lowers his bandana and throws the referee back in the ring. They land Skull and Bones onto Tonga. They go for the cover and get the pin.
