WWE SmackDown’s January 24 episode set the stage for a massive tag team title showdown, as Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa confirmed they will defend their WWE Tag Team Championships against the Motor City Machine Guns at the Royal Rumble in a grueling 2-out-of-3 falls match.

In a backstage segment, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin announced to DIY that they would be getting a shot at the gold. With both teams widely regarded as two of the best in the world, this high-stakes match promises to deliver the kind of tag team wrestling that steals the show.

The 2-out-of-3 falls stipulation guarantees there will be no fluke victories—whoever walks out with the championships will have to earn it twice. DIY has been riding high since capturing the gold, but Shelley and Sabin are veterans with the skill and experience to take them to the limit.

With the Royal Rumble setting the perfect stage for this high-caliber clash, all eyes will be on these two teams to see who leaves Houston as the undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions.
