Triple H, after the grandeur of WrestleMania 40, is paving the path for the future, introducing a fresh championship. This move follows his announcement of the World Tag Team Championships on Monday Night RAW.
In an anticipated move, Triple H graced SmackDown to introduce the new WWE Tag Team Champions, bestowed upon the current SmackDown Tag Team titleholders, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller.
The revealing didn’t just mark the introduction of new titles but also showcased a unique design, reminiscent of the classic Tag Team Championships.
The distinct design sets it apart from the existing WWE and Women’s Championships, reminiscent of the vintage Tag Team titles. While the World Tag Team Titles on RAW echo the World Heavyweight Title, SmackDown’s approach took a different aesthetic route.
However, the celebration took a sour turn when Theory and Waller disrespected Triple H, prompting General Manager Nick Aldis to intervene. Aldis issued a stern warning, hinting at repercussions if they continued their disrespectful behavior.
