Summary
– DIY replaced The Street Profits after a mysterious backstage attack
– The duo defeated The Motor City Machine Guns in a thrilling yet controversial match
– Gargano’s low blow and tension within DIY leave fans questioning their unity
Friday Night SmackDown, live from the Target Center in Minneapolis, was set to showcase The Motor City Machine Guns (MCMG) defending their WWE Tag Team Championships against The Street Profits. However, chaos erupted when Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins were found attacked backstage, rendering them unable to compete.
SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis broke the news to Chris Sabin and Alex Shelly, informing them of the sudden change. Johnny Gargano quickly seized the opportunity, proposing that DIY become replacements. Despite Aldis’s initial hesitation, MCMG encouraged the match, setting the stage for the night’s main event.
The match was a fast-paced clash of styles, with DIY’s mix of Gargano’s agility and Ciampa’s raw intensity going head-to-head against MCMG’s impeccable teamwork. Yet, cracks in DIY’s partnership were on display, as tension between Gargano and Ciampa added drama to an already electric showdown.
As the match neared its conclusion, Ciampa distracted the referee, creating an opening for Gargano to deliver a shocking low blow to Alex Shelly. This controversial move set up their devastating “Meet in the Middle” finisher on Chris Sabin, sealing the win and crowning DIY as the new WWE Tag Team Champions.
The duo’s underhanded tactics tainted the victory and left fans questioning their unity. Was the apparent tension a strategic misdirection, or are deeper issues brewing between the new champions?
The Motor City Machine Guns, known for their resilience, will have something to say in response. Meanwhile, the WWE Universe is eager to see what’s next for DIY and the tag team division.
