Summary

R-Truth and Damian Priest became number one contenders to the WWE Tag Team Championships on the March 6 episode of WWE SmackDown.

The contender spot was decided in a tag team turmoil match featuring Motor City Machine Guns, Fraxiom, The Wyatt Sicks, Los Garza, and the team of Truth and Priest.

Motor City Machine Guns were eliminated first, then Fraxiom. The Wyatt Sicks were eliminated after Tonga Loa pulled Joe Gacy outside the ring, which led to Dexter Lumis getting distracted and Berto scoring a rollup.

R-Truth and Damian Priest entered later and won after a double pinfall sequence, with Truth hitting an Attitude Adjustment on Angel while Priest delivered South of Heaven to Berto.
