Pretty Deadly Makes Major Mistake on SmackDown

DIY appeared on SmackDown following their successful WWE Tag Team Championship defense at Royal Rumble 2025. Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa’s celebration was interrupted by Pretty Deadly, who made a notable error during their confrontation.

Elton Prince and Kit Wilson approached the champions, but mistakenly referred to DIY’s titles as the “NXT Tag Team Championships” instead of their current WWE Tag Team Championships. Despite the verbal mishap, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis granted Pretty Deadly an opportunity to earn a future title shot through a non-title match against the champions.

The subsequent match saw Pretty Deadly capitalize on their opportunity, with Prince securing the victory by pinning Ciampa. Following their win, Pretty Deadly earned a future opportunity at the WWE Tag Team Championships, though the date for their title match remains to be announced.
