Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) have officially arrived in WWE as they were announced as being signed in a segment before this week’s SmackDown with the show’s General Manager, Nick Aldis.
They worked a triple threat match with Los Garzas (Angel & Berto) and A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory & Grayson Waller), where they went over. Following the show, they reacted to their arrival via the SmackDown LowDown.
Sabin: “It’s pretty surreal. I’d like to say it’s a dream come true, but it’s more than that. It’s a goal accomplished for us. It might have taken over 20 years to get here and to get to this position, but being one match away from being the #1 contender for the WWE Tag Team Championship? That’s pretty crazy. Just saying it out loud kinda blows my mind a little bit.”
Shelley: “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.”’
Sabin also tweeted out the following:
MCMG are WWE Superstars.
The journey started in 2006 with many highs and lows along the way. From being struggling tag team artists working to prove ourselves to inspiring and innovating an entire generation of tag team wrestling, everything has led to this.
Thank you.
