Do SmackDown's tag-team division eat and drink at separate catering, or something?! It's like somebody has been feeding these boys up on protein and caffeine, because they've been feisty lately. You've got to love how chaotic and unpredictable the tag ranks have become on Fridays. Nobody is content to just go through the motions and have dull matches or segments.

They're bringing it.

DIY ran in on The Street Profits before their match vs. Los Garza could begin, then Pretty Deadly and Motor City Machine Guns got involved too. A mass brawl ensued as Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett put it over as big and important on comms. Joining in on the hubbub, fans chanted, “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” over and over again. It's promising that audiences seem so up for some sort of multi-team scrap heading into WrestleMania.

Deadly, DIY, MCMGs, Garza and The Profits are about to throw down in Vegas, people. Their five-way bout could be a sleeper hit on the 'Mania undercards if it's given enough time on night one or night two. Ideally, someone like PD or Los Garza can win the belts and get their flowers after being overlooked for so long.

The Profits have a mean edge to them that was totally absent even when teaming with Bobby Lashley before his jump from WWE to AEW. Next step: Change up their entrance track to something less joyful. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins deserve the chance to get over as smash-mouth, no nonsense heels.
