Motor City Machine Guns Win WWE Debut Match To Advance In Tag Team Tournament During 10/18 SmackDown

WWE has inked a lot of exciting new talent to deals over the past few years. Although a lot of them start off their journey with the company in NXT, that is not the case for some of them. The Motor City Machine Guns were one of the rare occasions where stars got to jump straight to the main roster.

The vignettes for the Motor City Machine Guns debut created excitement. Chris Sabin soon broke his silence about their WWE main roster debut, and their debut came during the October 18 WWE SmackDown.

The Motor City Machine Guns’ first match was not an easy one. They were in a #1 contender triple threat tournament against the Garzas and A-Town Down Under.

In the end, The Motor City Machine Guns won the match. That means they advance to face #DIY in a match next week. The winner of that match will get a future tag team title match.

The Motor City Machine Guns have established themselves as one of the most successful tag teams in wrestling. Their debut in WWE has been a long time coming, as they have earned numerous accolades over the years. In TNA Wrestling, they won the World Tag Team Championship three times, the X Division Championship a combined 11 times, and both Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley have held the World Championship. They also won the Gauntlet for the Gold in 2008 and secured multiple Year End Awards in TNA.

Their success wasn’t limited to Impact Wrestling. In New Japan Pro-Wrestling, the duo held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship and the Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship. They also held the ROH Tag Team Titles and have claimed many other championships across various independent promotions. With this legacy, their WWE debut marks another chapter in their career.
