Who are the Motor City Machine Guns? All you need to know about the new WWE Tag Team Champions

On the latest edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Motor City Machine captured the WWE Tag Team Championship in a rather dramatic fashion. They were initially booked to face DIY in a Number One Contender's match. However, immediately after they emerged victorious, The Bloodline walked out and in a shocking turn of events, the title match was officially announced to take place right then.

Surprisingly, in just their third official match in the Stamford-based promotion, the legendary team of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin captured gold. The match wasn't without drama though, with interferences from Jimmy Uso, Roman Reigns, and Jey Uso. Fans are still amazed at how World Wrestling Entertainment awarded the Motor City Machine titles in just their second official appearance and third bout in the company.

MCMG is widely regarded as one of the best tag teams of this generation. They have been competing for decades and earning titles and awards all around the globe, in various independent wrestling circuits. Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin joined forces as a tag team in the early 2000s. In 2007, they ended up getting signed by TNA. During their impressive stint with Total Nonstop Action, they managed to capture the tag team championships multiple times.

Other than TNA, Sabin and Shelley have been IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, ROH Tag Team Champions, Strong Openweight Tag Team Champions, and many more. In other words, while MCMG are new faces in the Stamford-based promotion, outside of the promotion, they have already had a 'Hall of Fame' career.

Bright future ahead for The Motor City Machine Guns in WWE

Capturing WWE gold in just their second appearance in WWE alone is letting the WWE Universe know that the Stamford-based promotion has high hopes for the duo and they are bound to have a promising future ahead. With such a stunning debut in the company, the whole dynamics of the men's tag division had taken a significant turn.

Fans can expect numerous dream matches happening in the future, including a super-bout between MCMG and The Usos to determine who could be the 'Greatest tag team of this generation.' Jey and Jimmy could call for a title match as they were, in a way, the primary reason for MCMG winning WWE tag gold. A match against Street Profits could also be an amazing option.

It will be interesting to track the incredible journey of this legendary duo in WWE and fans are yet to see the best of The Motor City Machine Gun, seeing as how they are just getting started in the Stamford-based promotion.
