On the January 23 episode of WWE SmackDown in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, The MFTs won the WWE Tag Team Championship.
The championship match featured defending champions Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis of the Wyatt Sicks against challengers Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga of The MFTs. The Wyatt Sicks had held the title for nearly 200 days after winning it in July.
The MFTs secured the victory, ending the Wyatt Sicks' reign.
During the match's concluding moments, Talla Tonga appeared at ringside with a lantern, which caused a distraction. Solo Sikoa then struck Lumis, followed by Tama Tonga executing his Cut Throat finisher to secure the win.
Tonga Loa and JC Mateo were also present at ringside with The MFTs.
