WWE There have been two titles changes already in Philadelphia at tonight’s night one of WWE WrestleMania 40 in the show’s second match.
At WrestleMania 40 there was a big six-pack ladder match to determine who would leave Philadelphia as WWE Tag Team Champions – specifically as Raw or SmackDown champions
The Judgment Day put both titles on the line separately against A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller and Austin Theory), DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa), New Catch Republic (Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne), New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) and Awesome Truth (The Miz and R-Truth).
With Grayson Waller scaling the ladder and grabbing the SmackDown Tag Team Championship first, he and Austin Theory became titleholders for the blue brand, while the match continued with the Raw belts still hanging above the ring to be pulled down.
The celebration would be short lived after the New Catch Republic threw Waller out of the ring and crashing into a ladder between the ring and the commentary desk.
After continued battles for the remaining belts still hanging above the ring, it came down to Damian Priest and R-Truth.
Truth was able to dispose of Priest over the top rope with an Attitude Adjustment (in homage to his ‘childhood hero’ John Cena of course) and begin the ascent.
In the end, R-Truth was able to climb the ladder to retrieve the WWE Raw Tag Team belts to win them on behalf of he and The Miz.
For the first time since their inception in 2011, Awesome Truth became tag team champions.
The moment marked R-Truth’s first ever win at WrestleMania despite having spent over two decades in WWE.
