Motor City Machine Guns Set to Debut on WWE SmackDown

The Motor City Machine Guns, comprised of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, are set to debut in WWE, shifting from an expected NXT arrival to SmackDown instead. A recent vignette aired during WWE SmackDown hinted at their arrival, featuring Detroit imagery and the message 'Coming soon'. PWInsider confirmed that the teaser was intended for the Guns, who had previously left TNA earlier this year and were rumored to have considered both AEW and WWE before signing with the latter. Originally, they were expected to debut on the CW's NXT, but their absence from the show's premiere indicates a direct move to the SmackDown tag team division. The change in plans suggests WWE's confidence in the Guns to make an immediate impact on the blue brand's competitive landscape. Fans are eager to see how this iconic tag team will shape the ongoing narrative in WWE.
