Nick Aldis might introduce another championship tournament to WWE SmackDown tonight, following the success of ongoing title tournaments across both brands. The SmackDown General Manager could potentially establish a new system to determine the next challengers for The Motor City Machine Guns’ WWE Tag Team Championship.
The blue brand’s tag team division currently lacks clear direction, with multiple teams vying for championship opportunities. DIY and Street Profits have engaged in heated confrontations, while A-Town Down Under remains the last team to challenge for the titles in a formal championship match.
The tournament format has proven successful on both main roster shows. RAW currently features the Women’s Intercontinental Championship tournament, while SmackDown hosts the Women’s US Championship tournament, both generating substantial social media engagement.
The Motor City Machine Guns’ reign as tag team champions has faced criticism for limited title defenses. A tournament would provide structure to the championship picture while addressing growing tensions between competing teams on the blue brand.
