Street Profits, DIY, Motor City Machine Guns made undeniable WWE statement with epic TLC match
The Street Profits, DIY and the Motor City Machine Guns made a statement with their masterpiece of a TLC match in the main event of SmackDown. So much so that one post on X pained me when it was over, even if it was trying to heap the highest praise on the trio who risked their bodies repeatedly with big spot after big spot. The post read that they had one of the best TLC matches 'in SmackDown history.' It felt like a cruel way to echo the other sentiments circulating among wrestling fans on social media — the group Triple H railed against during his pre-WrestleMania interview with Peter Rosenberg — that the match should have been on one of the two WrestleMania 41 cards in Las Vegas the previous weekend. 3 Angelo Dawkins jumps off a ladder to spear a hanging Tommaso Ciampa onto a table during a TLC match on SmackDown on April 25, 2025.
