WWE SmackDown tag team officially gets impressive new name

The WWE tag team divisions have been a hot topic of discussion among fans and analysts as of late. Established tag teams are chasing championship gold on all three brands, along with up-and-coming duos. A fan-favorite team on the blue brand just went viral after revealing their new name with a photo shoot.

Friday's SmackDown featured the go-home build for Saturday Night's Main Event 39. Live from Enmarket Arena in Savannah, the third match of the night saw Chelsea Green's cheating fail to secure Alba Fyre and Piper Niven a win against a tag team on the rise in the WWE women's division: B-Fab and Michin. The fan favorites first linked up a few months back to even the odds against The Green Regime.

The Vibe and The HBIC are now known as Rush Hour. Michin took to Instagram to celebrate Friday's win over The Secret Hervice, sharing new photos of herself and B-Fab from a backstage photo shoot. The former TNA Knockouts World Champion then declared the duo to be Rush Hour.

"Rush Hour. @briana_brandy [camera emoji] @hmmhmarie #wwe #smackdown #fabuloushardcore #bchin," Michin wrote with the photos below.

Rush Hour first teamed up to defeat Green and Niven at four non-televised live events on the November 2024 tour of Europe. SmackDown on January 24 of this year saw Michin and B-Fab get the same win, this time in just over three minutes on TV. They also competed in a #1 contender's Gauntlet last month to determine the WrestleMania 41 opponents for The Judgment Day.
