Andrade and Rey Fenix emerged as the new WWE SmackDown tag team after winning a fatal four-way tag team match on Friday, earning the chance to challenge the current WWE Tag Team Champions, Wyatt’s Dexter Loomis and Joe Gacy, who captured the titles from Street Prophet last week. Fenix and Andrade triumphed over Motor City Machines, #DIY, and Fraxiom. The match began with Chris Sabin and Nathan Fraser, with Sabin making a dramatic leap through Shelley’s feet on the middle rope, knocking out Johnny Gargano and Tomasociampas outside the ring.
During the match, Andrade and Fenix honored Eddie Guerrero, with Fenix landing a frog splash on Axiom, followed by Andrade performing three Amigos and another frog splash alongside his partner. The action escalated with a brawl inside the ring, where Champa tried to interfere for Project Ciampa. Andrade and Fenix cleared out the Motor City Machine Guns before slamming Skull & Bones into Axiom. As Andrade went for a top rope move, Axiom countered with a Spanish fly, and Fraser added a Phoenix splash. Ciampa disrupted their momentum but couldn’t secure the win.
Fenix took down the remaining competitors outside the ring, and Andrade set up Champa for the finisher, only to be interrupted by Candice LeRae distracting the referee. Ciampa attempted to create further chaos to help his team, but an accidental hit on his partner from Gargano gave Andrade the opening to land a spinning elbow strike, leading to the team’s victory.
Fan Take: This exciting win by Andrade and Rey Fenix shakes up the SmackDown tag team division, introducing fresh energy and talent to the chase for the titles. For WWE fans, this could signal thrilling new rivalries and dynamic matches that highlight some of the most innovative and athletic wrestlers in the sport today.
