During the latest episode of SmackDown, the Street Profits emerged victorious in a fatal four-way tag team match, earning themselves the opportunity to challenge for the WWE Tag Team Championships.
Following the show, Austin Theory exuded confidence, asserting that while the Street Profits may have become the number one contenders, nothing will change. He boldly declared that he and Grayson Waller will remain champions for as long as they desire.
"Sure, sure, they got a number-one contender match, sure. But guess what's gonna happen. That and this, it's not gonna change. We're the champs and we're forever the champs. And the time that we put away these tag team championships is when we feel like it, when we wanna put them on the shelf, on a plaque in our house," Austin Theory said.
