New WWE Tag Team Champions Crowned On WWE SmackDown
DIY (Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano) won the WWE Tag Team Championships on the December 6th episode of WWE SmackDown, defeating Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin).
It looked like there was dissension between Ciampa and Gargano, with Gargano shoving Ciampa and Ciampa saying DIY was finished.
Ciampa tossed a chair in the ring, and as the referee was distracted, Gargano hit a low blow on Sabin.
Shelley was confused and ate a superkick by Gargano for his troubles.
DIY hit Meet in the Middle on Sabin for the victory.

This marks the second reign as WWE Tag Team Champions for DIY. Motor City Machine Guns held the titles for 43 days and made one successful title defense.
Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) were scheduled to challenge for the WWE Tag Team Titles, but were attacked backstage. Gargano & Ciampa were named as the replacements by WWE SmackDown GM Nick Aldis.
