The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin) officially signed with WWE ahead of WWE SmackDown on October 18th.
They wasted no time getting in the ring, facing A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller & Austin Theory) and Los Garzas (Berto & Angel) in a triple threat tag team bout.
MCMG were victorious, setting up a match against DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) next Friday to determine the number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Titles.
"It's pretty surreal. I'd like to say it's a dream come true, but it's more than that. This is a goal accomplished for us. It might have taken over 20 years to get here, to get to this position, but being one match away from being number one contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championships? That's pretty crazy. Just saying it out loud kinda blows my mind a little bit," said Sabin on SmackDown LowDown.
Shelley stated, "We take things one step at a time, but DIY is exactly why we came to WWE. Exactly why we want to declare ourselves the best tag team on the planet, because we beat all the great tag teams that already exist in the WWE Universe. So I apologize to you in advance DIY, but you're looking at the next WWE Tag Team Champions."
