Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga were shown arriving and asking Paul Heyman to bring them to Kevin Owens. Back in the ring, Nick Aldis was there to present new belts to Austin Theory and Grayson Waller to replace the SmackDown tag titles with new WWE Tag Team Championships.
The champs remained at ringside to watch Akam and Rezar, Angel and Berto, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, and Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate compete for a shot at those shiny new belts.
AOP played the big villains in the match, and their feud with the Profits carried over from WrestleMania, but all four teams played a part.
Bouts like this would benefit from having one member of each duo in the ring instead of just two legal competitors, but it rarely made a difference anyway. We saw several multi-man spots, especially at the end.
This was an entertaining bit of chaos that had a couple of convincing near-falls. Every team had multiple standout moments, but it was Dawkins and Ford who secured the win and a title shot. This was excellent and something you should go out of your way to see if you didn't.
Result: The Street Profits won
Notable Moments and Observations
- It feels like WWE is planting the seeds for Aldis and Adam Pearce to feud leading into Survivor Series.
- The new tag titles looked a lot like the tag belts from the '90s.
- Bate getting up Akam for an airplane spin was an incredible display of power.
- There was a strange moment when Bate tumbled over the top rope into the ring for no reason.
- Ford and Bate had some of the biggest highlights in this bout.
