This week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown aired live from Boston and the show featured a big title change. R-Truth and Damian Priest put the WWE Tag Team Championship on the line when they defended the belts against The War Raiders and MFT in a triple threat match and MFT ultimately walked out with the gold. Haku accompanied MFT to the ring and watched the match from ringside.
Near the end of the match, Ivar and Priest teamed up to take down Talla Tonga with a double suplex. R-Truth then put Talla Tonga in the STF, but Erik broke the hold.
Priest went to the outside and hit Erik with two spinning kicks then charged at him, but The War Raiders picked him up and put Priest through the barricade.
Tama Tonga charged at R-Truth inside the ring and Truth countered with a shoulder tackle followed by the Five Knuckle Shuffle. He tried for the Attitude Adjustment, but Tama Tonga poked him in the eye. Erik got up on the apron and Tama Tonga pushed Truth into the ropes to knock him off.
Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga then hit Brother’s Keeper on R-Truth and Tama Tonga pinned him to win the match. After they picked up the victory Haku got in the ring and stood with MFT as they celebrated with the belts.
We have NEW WWE Tag Team Champions! 🏆
