The #DIY member held the title for 238 days before relinquishing it due to an injury.

Tommaso Ciampa teases heel turn and hints at partnering with WWE legend

On the July 5 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller of A-Town Down Under defended their WWE Tag Team Championship against #DIY.

Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa secured a big win and became the new tag team titleholders before Money in the Bank in Toronto, Canada. After the 39-year-old champion shared a heartwarming video of his child celebrating the victory, The Rock congratulated him and hinted at a future encounter.

Since The Great One turned heel on the Road to WrestleMania XL, the former NXT Champion had an interesting message for the legend. Ciampa jokingly responded to The Final Boss' comment, stating if he turns heel on his tag team partner, the two shall get in touch.

"Oh, hey, Final Boss. Once I turn on Johnny again, let's talk... Kidding... Kind of," he wrote.

The Bloodline's Jacob Fatu single-handedly destroyed #DIY after they retained their WWE Tag Team Championship against A-Town Down Under on the July 12 episode of SmackDown. Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa will be part of the Number One Contenders Gauntlet Match to determine Gargano and Ciampa's next challengers.

It will be interesting to see how the duo fares in their title reign on SmackDown.
