Folks, when Nick Aldis has to pull out a whiteboard to explain your tag team division, you know things have gone off the rails.
And after months of betrayals, backstage attacks, surprise title changes, and outright LIES, we finally have some clarity—sort of. The WWE Tag Team Championship match is set, and the next contenders are waiting in the wings. Let’s break it down before we all get a headache.
Previously on “SmackDown: Tag Team Drama Edition”
- Motor City Machine Guns (MCMG) shocked the world by winning the Tag Titles in just their third match.
- Street Profits were the next challengers—until they got mysteriously jumped backstage.
- #DIY replaced them, won the titles, and then Johnny Gargano stabbed Alex Shelley in the back faster than a bad reality TV contestant.
- Pretty Deadly claimed Los Garza were behind the attack on the Profits. This was a LIE. Turns out, #DIY did the deed themselves. (Why? Because wrestling.)
- At the Royal Rumble, MCMG got a rematch in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match, but Street Profits interfered, costing them the match—and then attacking #DIY too, because why not?
NOW—next Friday, Street Profits finally get their title shot against #DIY. But what about the next contenders?
MCMG vs. Pretty Deadly vs. Los Garza – Winner Gets the Next Shot
With a tag title shot on the line, MCMG looked like they were about to seal the deal with their Skull and Bones finisher on Elton Prince. But then? Kit Wilson pulled a “WE’RE GONNA CHEAT” moment, shoving Alex Shelley off the top rope.
One sneaky roll-up on Chris Sabin later, and BOOM—Pretty Deadly steal the victory.
What’s Next?
- #DIY vs. Street Profits next week for the Tag Team Titles.
- Pretty Deadly waiting in the wings as #1 contenders.
- Los Garza wondering why they even showed up tonight.
- MCMG realizing they’ve been screwed over again.
Moral of the story? Trust no one. Expect chaos. And always bring a whiteboard.
