Fans who attended last night’s Absolute Intense Wrestling indie show at Temple Live in Cleveland got an unexpected surprise in the form of WWE Tag Team champions DIY.

The show streamed live on Triller TV and Gargano and Ciampa brought their WWE gold with them. The two cut a promo in the middle of the ring, putting over independent wrestling and AIW.

Gargano, who is from the area, wrestled for AIW in the past so this was not just a random appearance at a random independent show.

DIY are not part of the SummerSlam card but will be wrestling The Bloodline tonight with the WWE Tag Team titles on the line on Friday Night Smackdown.
