The brand new tag team of Damian Priest and R-Truth are the No. 1 contenders for the WWE tag titles after outlasting a tag team turmoil match that included Motor City Machine Guns, Fraxiom, Wyatt Sicks, and Los Garza on “SmackDown”.
MCMG and Fraxiom began things off with a match that may have stolen the show another night — — until the closing moments. Sabin was pinned by Axiom when Shelley placed his foot on the rope to interrupt the autumn in front of Frazier. The spot was late, allowing the ref to count to 3 and eliminate The Guns.
Los Garza was the subsequent team and quickly eliminated Fraxiom. Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy were the subsequent entrants. Tanga Loa and Tama Tanga distracted Wyatt Sicks to permit Berto pin Lumis. R-Truth and Damian Priest were the ultimate team.
Berto landed a moonsault on Priest off the ropes. Priest sent Garza into the announce table. In response, Garza connected with a tope suicida on Priest. Truth tagged in and hit multiple shoulder tackles and a Five Knuckle Shuffle on Berto. He missed with the AA, but locked within the STFU, just for Garza to interrupt it up. Priest connected with South of Heaven on Berto while Truth concurrently connected with the AA on Garza to get the win.
Earlier within the night, Priest was speaking with Nick Aldis backstage when Truth informed Priest he was in turmoil, but he was too. Aldis clarified that they were in a tag team turmoil match later within the night and that he thought Priest knew. Tonga and Solo Sikoa won the titles from Wyatt Sicks in January and have yet to defend their titles.
