The December 6, 2024, episode of Friday Night SmackDown ended with a jaw-dropping twist as DIY's Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa became two-time WWE Tag Team Champions. The victory, however, came with a dose of controversy -- and Gargano wasted no time celebrating on social media.
Following their shocking win over The Motor City Machine Guns (MCMG), Gargano took to Twitter to share his thoughts. "We told you... Whatever it takes. 2x WWE Tag Team Champions. ✌️ #DIY," he wrote.
Fans are still reeling from how the match unfolded. Originally, The Street Profits were scheduled to challenge MCMG, but a backstage attack rendered them unable to compete. This opened the door for Gargano and Ciampa, who seized the opportunity to step in. What followed was an intense battle at the Target Center in Minneapolis, filled with jaw-dropping action and a controversial ending.
Despite visible tension between Gargano and Ciampa throughout the match, they capitalized on a key moment of distraction. With the referee's back turned, Gargano hit Alex Shelly with a low blow before DIY delivered their signature "Meet in the Middle" finisher on Chris Sabin to secure the titles.
While Gargano's tweet reflects pride in their accomplishment, it also underscores their willingness to do whatever it takes to win -- even bending the rules. The reaction online has been split, with some praising their cunning strategy and others calling out their underhanded tactics.
The win raises questions about what's next for DIY and whether this victory could mask deeper cracks in their partnership. Meanwhile, fans are eager to see how MCMG will respond after being blindsided by their opponents' controversial approach.
