Being honest, there were concerns that DIY on Grayson Waller's talk show segment would play before similar disinterest, but that wasn't the case. In fact, if anything, Scotland apparently loves Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. That duo will be grateful to Glasgow for treating them like big stars.

They even got a chant!

That doesn't happen often elsewhere these days. The response to DIY was heartening to see, 'cause Gargano and Ciampa have been struggling to convince lately. They played up to all of the buzz by teasing a tag title match vs. Waller and Austin Theory, but Grayson shut that down pronto by badmouthing the location.

Fingers crossed this segment turns out to be a launching point for DIY on SmackDown. They're probably going to reap the benefits of Theory's impending babyface turn by winning the straps, but the pair sorely needed to start hearing some actual noise during their matches/segments.

They got it on Friday night.
