After unveiling new World Tag Team Championship belts on Raw, SmackDown is now once again home to the WWE Tag Team Champions.

At WrestleMania 40, WWE split the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship in a huge ladder match involving six teams. Damian Priest and Finn Balor of The Judgment Day held all the gold going in but the titles were retrieved by different teams ensuring their two-year union was now over.

Grayson Waller and Austin Theory claimed the SmackDown Tag Team Championship but the match continued until The Awesome Truth duo of The Miz and R-Truth were able to pull down the Raw Tag Team Championship belts.

On Raw in Montreal, Triple H took to the ring with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce to unveil new championship belts for The Miz and R-Truth. Gone are the red straps and Spartan helmets as Triple H revealed that The Awesome Truth will now be known as the World Tag Team Champions.

Now on SmackDown in Pittsburgh, Triple H was on hand again with SmackDown GM Nick Aldis to present Waller and Theory with the new WWE Tag Team Championship belts. Theory and Waller were as disrespectful as you’d expect and Aldis immediately informed them that a four-way match was taking place to find their first challengers. The Street Profits won that match meaning they’ll face A-Town Down Under in the very near future.
