Monday night, we got the debut that we should have gotten last week from Heavy Machinery.

The supersized tag team made their main roster debut last week in one of the most unflattering ways we’ve seen in a while. And then on Monday, we saw them in their first match, demolishing the Ascension with all their greatest hits, including Otis Dozovic’s Caterpillar elbow drop and the Compactor to squash Viktor.

If this was their first appearance on WWE TV, you’d think they were a fun-loving, yet potentially dangerous tag team. And that still can be the case, provided we don’t have Otis stalking a “pretty lady” backstage next week.
