Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder win Fatal Four Way Tag Team Match (new WWE Tag Team Champions)
UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- After spending months in Edge's shadow, Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder finally made a name for themselves -- and they did it in big fashion by winning the WWE Tag Team Championship in their own hometown of Long Island, N.Y.
Going into the WWE Tag Team Championship Fatal Four Way, the now-former champions, John Morrison & The Miz, had done a lot of talking in their weekly WWE.com show, "The Dirt Sheet." (Watch) The duo claimed they had no competition for their gold, and poked fun at just about anyone and everyone in WWE. But on this night, words were not enough to stop Hawkins & Ryder as the team claimed gold when Hawkins pinned Jesse.
Taking out the former champions was challenge enough for Hawkins & Ryder, but they also had to worry about six additional Superstars who were hungry for gold.
Jesse and Festus have been making great strides on SmackDown, with the corn-fed colossus Festus manhandling many an opponent. Despite a valiant effort, they could not find a way to win on this night.
And finally, the Belfast brawler Finlay & Hornswoggle had been at odds with The Miz & Morrison for weeks, often the butt of their "Dirt Sheet" jokes. Although they got in some good shots of their own tonight, they could not capitalize at the right moment.
With Hawkins & Ryder's victory, championship gold is once again brought home to "The Family."
