Your new GCW World Tag Team Champions are the NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Champions Motor City Machine Guns.

Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin defeated Miedo Extremo and Ciclope of Los Mazisos to win the GCW World Tag Team Titles at Sunday night’s GCW Ransom event. Sabin and Shelley finished with a double team finisher to Ciclope for the pin.

This is The Guns’ first reign in GCW, as they made their debut as a tag team for the promotion. Ciclope and Extremo began their third reign as champions on October 22 at GCW Drop Dead, and they held the titles for 134 days.

Shelley and Sabin won the GCW titles just three nights after losing the Impact Wrestling World Tag Team Titles to Ace Austin and Chris Bey of The Bullet Club. That match aired on Impact on Thursday, but it was taped on February 25. They have held the NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Titles since winning a Triple Threat on October 28 at the NJPW Rumble on 44th Street pay-per-view over inaugural champions Aussie Open and the team of The DKC and Kevin Knight.
