The MFTs retained their Tag Team Championship by technicality after the War Raiders attacked Bakusa in the title match.WWE SmackDown“.
Tama Tonga started the match strong, isolating Kyoki in the middle of the ring before tagging in his brother Talla Tonga. Talla continued to beat Kyoki down before tagging in his brother.
Taman slashed Kyoki from the chest, but this time he called out for more, seemingly unaffected by everyone else, before storming out. He went to try and knock Talla off the apron, failing to do so, but as Talla tried to enter the ring, he managed to kick the ropes into his groin. Haku then stormed in from ringside, caning the back of Kyoki’s leg while the referee was distracted.
Kyoki continued to break the champions’ spell of dominance, creating enough space for Shinsuke Nakamura to get in on the action. Nakamura then rallied against Tama and knocked Tala off the apron, setting up the Kinshasa on Tama.
Tama saw it coming, ducked it, and returned with a cut throat. Nakamura kicked Tama out of a double hook, connecting with a knee strike to the back of Tama’s head.
Kyoki took out Talla as he tried to enter the ring by kicking Haku at ringside, while back in the ring Nakamura finally connected with the Kinshasa. He went for the cover, but then the Raiders entered the ring to interfere, thus causing the disqualification and devaluing their titles. This is the second time Bakusai has faced MFT and won by disqualification, with their first fight coming in September.
