DIY win WWE Tag Team titles on SmackDown
DIY are the new WWE Tag Team Champions.
Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano won the titles on Friday, defeating Motor City Machine Guns. The finish had Gargano & Ciampa, who had been arguing in recent weeks, have another blow-up. As Ciampa exited the ring, Gargano suddenly low blowed Chris Sabin. Alex Shelley entered the ring to argue with Gargano only to be met with a superkick. Revealing their spat to be a ruse, DIY then hit their finish on Sabin for the win, earning their second WWE Tag Team title win.
Recent weeks had seen Ciampa becoming completely obsessed with the Motor City Machine Guns and the WWE Tag Team titles, creating a source of tension between him and Gargano, who has a history with the Motor City Machine Guns and remained on friendly terms with them.
Sabin & Shelly were originally set to face The Street Profits on Friday. During SmackDown, however, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins were seen laid out backstage. As MCMG talked to SmackDown GM Nick Aldis about the situation, Gargano proposed DIY take the Street Profits’ spot in the title match, which MCMG agreed.
