WWE announced tonight that The Motor City Machine Guns will debut on next week's edition of Friday Night Smackdown. This will be the WWE debut for Chris Sabin and the first main roster appearance for Alex Shelley, who has made appearances in WWE NXT in the past.
Chris Sabin debuted for TNA in 2003 and held every championship the promotion had to offer, including the TNA title, ten X-Division reigns and multiple Tag Team title runs. Alex Shelley debuted in 2004 and held the TNA Championship, The X-Division and the Tag Team belts.
As a team, the Machine Guns were a true TNA cornerstone, including three title reigns with the Tag Team Championship and several excellent feuds against Beer Money, The Young Bucks (Generation Me), Team 3D and more. Next week marks their first-ever WWE appearance as a duo.
