"This is gonna be a long time" - Current champions planning to surpass Roman Reigns' 1,316-day WWE title reign

At WrestleMania XL, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, now known as the WWE Tag Team Championship. Their first title challengers were determined on SmackDown this week in a number-one contender's match. After the bout, they made a huge declaration about their title reign.

A Fatal Four-Way tag team match took place on the latest episode of SmackDown between the Street Profits, the Authors of Pain, the New Catch Republic, and the Legado Del Fantasma. Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford won the bout via pinfall and earned the right to challenge for the WWE Tag Team Championship.

During a backstage segment after the show, Grayson Waller spoke about the Street Profits' victory and claimed that he and Austin Theory will be champions for a long time. The Moment Maker went on to state that their title reign will surpass Roman Reigns' historic 1,316-day run as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.

"We said it a few weeks ago when we beat them that we are the smoke. So if they want the smoke, we got it for them. We're just gonna roll through them again, undefeated tag team champions. This is gonna be a long time. Roman Reigns' reign ain't gonna be anything close to ours," Grayson Waller said. [1:18 - 1:30]

Austin Theory then added:

"It's just still mindblowing to me that you interrupt us, the greatest undefeated tag team champions of all time. Brand new championships for the first time ever, nobody's ever had these. And then, you come in here and you are talking about two randoms. Sure, sure, they got a number-one contender match, sure, but guess what's gonna happen. That and this, it's not gonna change. We're the champs and we're forever the champs, and the time that we put away these tag team championships is when we feel like it." [1:32 - 2:02]
