There were two heel turns in the same segment on the latest episode of SmackDown. The WWE Tag Team Championship was on the line during the show, and it had an unexpected ending.

The Motor City Machine Guns defended the titles against Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins of The Street Profits. During the match on the blue brand this week, Tommaso Ciampa showed up and attacked The Profits out of nowhere, and the referee immediately called for the bell.

His partner Johnny Gargano came out and tried to calm him down as well as hold back Motor City Machine Guns, who were not happy that Ciampa interfered in their bout. Johhny Wrestling tried to tell his partner to leave the ring, but the latter shoved him instead.

Tommaso then shouted at Gargano before heading to the back. This was not a babyface move at all, and it's possible that the former NXT Champion turned heel during the SmackDown segment tonight. It wasn't the first time that he let Johnny Gargano down.

After DIY left, Motor City Machine Guns tried to show sportsmanship by helping The Street Profits get back up onto their feet. Angelo Dawkins suddenly punched Alex Shelley in the face, and Montez Ford didn't even look surprised. It seems like the former tag team champions also turned heel, but it's still too early to say for sure.
