AIW held their Against The World event on Thursday and it featured the surprise appearance of WWE Tag Team Champions #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa), where the champions cut a promo on their Tag Team Championship defense against The Bloodline (“The Samon Werewolf” Jacob Fatu and “The Right Hand Man” Tama Tonga) on SmackDown.
Gargano is an alumni in AIW, appearing regularly for the promotion until he signed with WWE in 2016, while Ciampa made an appearance in AIW back in 2015 in a 10-Person Tag Team Match alongside Gargano.
You never know who’s gonna show up at @aiwrestling.
