The road to WrestleMania was full of unexpected things happening during the last Friday Night SmackDown broadcast. The personal feud between Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu reached a violent breaking point.
This chaotic evening unfolded as McIntyre orchestrated a high-speed car ambush on Fatu before the show even went on the air, leading to a relentless series of brawls that spanned the entire arena.
Similarly, the power balance in the tag team division was totally different after Damian Priest and R-Truth pulled off a major upset to beat The Bloodline for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The new champions took advantage of the Samoan faction's internal disagreements and, using a very powerful South of Heaven followed by a cover by the veteran, they got hold of the gold, which has left the blue brand in a state of complete upheaval.

Damian Priest And R-Truth Clinch WWE Tag Team Titles
In a huge shock that made the Raleigh audience rise to their feet, Damian Priest and R-Truth scored a victory over The Bloodline to become the new WWE Tag Team Champions. The bout resulted in an unexpected chemistry level between the experienced Truth and the strong Priest. Even though there were several attempts by Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa to interfere, R-Truth was able to deliver a vital Scissor Kick, which was followed by Priest's South of Heaven to get the pinfall.
After the match, the Hall of Fame members unexpectedly showed up to congratulate the new champions, which is probably a hint that a legendary reunion for their next title defence is in the works.
