Motor City Machine Guns Beat Young Bucks For ROH Tag Titles
For the first time ever, Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley captured the Ring of Honor Tag Team Championships together after a decade of teaming.
Collectively known as the Motor City Machine Guns, Shelley and Sabin defeated longtime friends and rivals The Young Bucks at ROH Death Before Dishonor XV. Despite that ten-year run as a team, this was the duos first time reaching the mountain top in Ring of Honor.
You can see an excerpt from our ROH Death Before Dishonor live coverage below.
The Bucks lock in a double sharpshooter before MCM get to the ropes for the break, then Nick accidentally kicks Matt before Alex hits a sliced bread using the ring post. They get back in the ring and MCM double team Matt for a near fall before a superkick party ensues, everyone kicking each other until they fall down. The Addiction show up out of nowhere after the referee is incapacitated, but MCM save the Bucks and the Bucks thank them with a double sharpshooter. The Addiction get back in the ring and break it up before they come back and with the help of Alex hit a double Indie Taker onto the floor. They get back in the ring and exchange strikes before hitting a series of rapid fire moves that the Bucks win before MCM come right back and double team Nick for the pin and the win.
Winner: The Motor City Machine Guns via pinfall
Sabin and Shelley have found success elsewhere, becoming TNA World Tag Team Champions and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions in New Japan Pro Wrestling. They've also held titles in Zero-1 and AAW as well as being honored with several awards.
