Motor City Machine Guns edge FTR in decisive AEW match

"

FTR and Motor City Machine Guns had the fifth and decisive match of their best-of-five dream match series on tonight’s (Nov. 11) episode of AEW Dynamite. The match had a ton of false finishes, with the announcer occasionally reminding fans how much time was left in the match. It sure looked like AntonSirius was on to something in the comments of today’s preview when he said the match could end in a draw. However, just when it seemed like there was no time left for the babyfaces to prevail, Alex Shelley countered the Shatter Machine into a buzzer-beating victory for MCMG.

It was a genuine gesture of respect this time rather than a ruse for an ambush. FTR’s manager Big Stoke was down near the entrance ramp and didn’t look happy about what he just saw. Is this a sign that FTR is turning babyface soon? With the win, Shelley and Chris Sabin are the new number one contenders for the AEW world tag team championship, which will be held by either the Young Bucks or Davis & Doyle after this Saturday’s Full Gear pay-per-view.
