Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano are excited to take on Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins for the first time ever in the birthplace of the black-and-gold era of NXT.
Both #DIY and The Street Profits are eager to get back to the WWE Tag Team Championships, currently held by The Bloodline. They will meet for the first time ever to determine the next challengers for the WWE Tag Team Championship on the August 16 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
During the most recent episode of the WWE SmackDown LowDown, Gargano and Ciampa spoke about how important the match is to them, specifically Johnny after he was embarrassed in his hometown of Cleveland by Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu.
"Last Friday was supposed to be the best night of my life, but it was the worst night of my life. We lost those titles, something we worked our whole careers for, in my hometown, in Cleveland, Ohio, in front of my wife, in front of my family, in front of my son. Byron, you should know that changes you. That makes you a different person. The Bloodline have something that belongs to us. Our names are still on the titles. That is our property. Tonight, I made a promise. I made a promise to everyone that I am go-- no, no, we are going to do whatever it takes to get our property back," said Gargano.
Tommaso Ciampa is more eager about the upcoming match with Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins and hopes that they can channel the spirit of NXT's black-and-gold era when they step into the ring for the first time ever.
"You mentioned The Street Profits, man. We've known them guys for over a decade now. I knew Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford before The Street Profits were even a thing, and this here is first-time-ever. It's for the number one contendership for our WWE Tag Team Titles. But you know what's the sweetest part about it all? It's in Orlando, Florida, where the Profits and #DIY made a name for ourselves in WWE. That hits different, and boys, Profits, we don't need to tell you; you already know. Next week, let's do our thing, black and gold style, for the first time," Ciampa said.
