NXT commentator and Hall of Famer Booker T has commented on the Motor City Machine Guns’ WWE debut.
Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin arrived on the main roster last week, skipping NXT. The duo made their debut on the October 18 SmackDown episode, defeating the teams of Angel & Berto and Austin Theory & Grayson Waller in a threeway tag-team match.
Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T noted that he believes Shelley and Sabin fit perfectly in WWE.
Noting that they deserve this opportunity, Booker T said:
“Man, those guys deserve a shot to get a chance to work in the WWE as far as perhaps have that WrestleMania moment. These guys, man, they’ve been putting in their work. Are they a good tag team? Hell yeah. They’re a good tag team.
“That loyalty, being able to invest in each other for all these years, that says something in itself. Do they fit in with the guys in WWE right now? I think they fit in perfectly. Are they experienced enough to actually understand what this game is all about?
“Yeah, they’ve been around long enough to know that, man, we’re not going to be doing this forever, so let’s get as much out of it as we possibly can. I’m glad to see those guys get a shot in WWE and get a chance to have this run. I really, truly am happy for those guys.”
