Following their recent departure from TNA Wrestling, the Motor City Machine Guns are looking for a new home. One of the most popular tag teams in the industry at the moment, Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley parted ways with the promotion earlier this year when both their contracts expired on April 1, 2024.
Since their exit from TNA, there have been talks of Sabin and Shelley joining AEW and
WWE. There had even been some reports speculating that the duo will be signing with WWE. Most recently, PW Nexus reported that Motor City Machine Guns might be debuting on NXT soon.
Motor City Machine Guns are potentially heading for NXT debut.
Needless to say, fans are over the moon to see this incredible tag team move to WWE. Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley are expected to appear on the debut episode of NXT on the CW Network next month, as their WWE debut. The excitement was tripled recently when Shelley dropped an Instagram story with a post of The Motor City Machine Guns. The music attached to it was a NXT Def Rebel song. However, he soon deleted the post, intriguing the fans even more.
It is not known why he decided to discard the post ahead of the team’s NXT debut, but fans are hoping it doesn’t indicate a negative outcome. After much speculation about where the team will move to next, the duo appears to have finally found their new ring to shine in.
An X post made by PW Nexus on September 12, 2024, they penned, “Sources close to #PWNexus have informed us that MCMG are #WWENXT bound, with their debut potentially as soon as NXT's CW premiere. We are working to reach out to other sources to further confirm.”
Fans are hoping that the official confirmation of Motor City Machine Guns joining WWE NXT arrives soon, and they cannot wait to see what the team has in store for the future. They’re one of the biggest tag teams TNA has ever had, boasting three TNA/Impact World Tag Team Championship title wins and more.
