Corey Graves subtly mentions AEW stars; huge reference dropped on WWE SmackDown

Earlier tonight on WWE SmackDown, two top AEW stars were referenced, with commentator Corey Graves even name-dropping a term associated with them. This would be FTR's Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood (FKA The Revival).

Just moments ago, DIY faced A-Town Down Under with the WWE Tag Team Championship on the line. This was a chance for Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa to capture the titles for the first time in their careers.

During one point in the match, Gargano and Ciampa shockingly hit Shatter Machine, FTR's finishing maneuver. This only ended up scoring a nearfall for them. Corey Graves even namedropped the maneuver on commentary.

This comes seven and a half years after DIY captured the NXT Tag Team Championship from the AEW tag team at NXT Takeover: Toronto in a Two out of Three falls match. This took place at the Air Canada Centre (now known as Scotiabank Arena), the same arena they were in tonight.

Ultimately, Gargano and Ciampa dethroned A-Town Down Under and captured the WWE Tag Team Championship for the first time. They now join the long history of champions with one of the most iconic titles in the industry.
