Shelley subtly confirmed that a heel turn could be on the cards for him, claiming:

“The next time we’re in the ring together what, pink mask (Axiom)? We just beat you last week… You know what Rey (Fenix)? I think they’re sore losers and I’m tired of dealing with children!”

Sabin didn’t appear to be in agreement with his tag partner about the way they won the match last week, even though it was his roll-up that got them the win.

WWE SmackDown team recently teased a split

The Motor City Machine Guns have been presented as a legendary team since their arrival on WWE SmackDown. They won the WWE Tag Team Titles within their first month in the company, but lost momentum eventually, with the entire division taking a hit.

Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin have recently started showcasing tension between them, potentially teasing a split down the line. The events of this week’s backstage segment seemed to imply that Shelley and Sabin were not on the same page in terms of their methods.

On X, Sabin questioned whether the team was indeed fine, and Shelley asked him to stop with the doubting. The involvement of Johnny Gargano (albeit depressed) and Candice LeRae could lead to the storyline taking an interesting turn. However, a change of some sort seems to be on the cards for the veteran duo.
