New WWE Tag Team Champions crowned on SmackDown
The Bloodline are the new WWE Tag Team Champions.
Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga defeated DIY’s Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa in the main event of Friday’s SmackDown to capture the WWE Tag Team titles.
Fatu pinned Gargano after a moonsault and implant DDT to secure the victory for The Bloodline.
The title win is the first in the WWE careers of both Fatu & Tonga. Tonga Loa and Solo Sikoa both interfered in the title match to give DIY an out.
After the match, Fatu & Tonga presented Solo Sikoa with their title belts, and SmackDown went off the air with Sikoa posing with the gold.
In Friday’s opening segment, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes agreed to make his title defense against Sikoa at tomorrow’s SummerSlam event a Bloodline Rules match, where anything goes.
