The latest episode of WWE SmackDown witnessed another unprovoked attack following the brutal assault on Jade Cargill weeks prior. This time, the Street Profits found themselves on the receiving end of a beatdown.
The Street Profits were gearing up for their WWE Tag Team Championship match against The Motor City Machine Guns on SmackDown. However, being assaulted just minutes before their title match jeopardized the schedule for the blue brand as General Manager Nick Aldis revealed that Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins were banged up and needed medical attention.
Major title change on WWE SmackDown
Amid the unfolding chaos, Johnny Gargano intervened and offered to take on the Street Profits' place in the WWE Tag Team Championship match. While it appeared that Johnny Wrestling and Tommaso Ciampa were not on the same page and were having issues, in a shocking moment, Gargano hit Chris Sabin with a low blow. When Alex Shelley confronted him, he was taken out by a superkick, and DIY clinched the WWE Tag Team Championship for the second time after executing their finisher.

With this surprising angle, it seems like Triple H has subtly confirmed that Ciampa may be the mystery attacker, as DIY may have planned to reclaim their titles, for which Johnny had to request the bout. Ciampa, who is 39 years of age, needed to sideline the Street Profits, and their plan succeeded. Although the Stamford-based promotion has not revealed it yet, they could disclose the identities of the assailants on the upcoming show.
Triple H may punish Nick Aldis for the ongoing chaos on SmackDown
WWE has already encountered several issues due to unexpected injuries lately. Additionally, at a crucial time, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis has failed to maintain discipline backstage, especially after the brutal attack on Jade Cargill. On the latest episode of the blue brand, the Street Profits were viciously assaulted and replaced by DIY in the WWE Tag Team Championship match against The Motor City Machine Guns.
Following the chaos that unfolded, Triple H could hold Nick Aldis accountable for neglecting his responsibilities as General Manager and may punish the latter by removing him from his authoritative position. Aldis could then focus on making his in-ring return.
Triple H could take action against newly crowned champions
If Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa are unveiled as the Street Profits' mystery attackers on SmackDown, they could face the wrath of Triple H. The Game could strip DIY of their WWE Tag Team Championship for causing chaos and attacking two major superstars on the blue brand.
It remains to be seen whether The King of Kings takes any serious action against the newly crowned champions on the blue brand.
