Result of double title match on WWE SmackDown, legend makes surprise appearance

Posted: Aug 1st 2026 By: Bryan Rose

The title for title match didn’t end the way people expected.

AAA Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders and WWE Tag Team Champions Damian Priest & R-Truth were wrestling on SmackDown when suddenly the MFTs interrupted the match, causing it to be thrown out via disqualification. Leading them were their father, WWE legend Haku. After laying out both teams, Tama Tonga & Talla Tonga held both sets of titles as Haku posed with them.

Earlier in the night, Haku appeared in a vignette with his sons, telling them to not forget who they are.

Several weeks ago, the War Raiders issued the challenge to Priest & R-Truth, with Priest accepting. The match wasn’t confirmed until last week’s show when it was mentioned in passing during a backstage segment. Shortly before Friday’s show went live, WWE confirmed that it would be for both sets of titles.

The War Raiders have held the AAA Tag Team titles for 62 days, defeating Pagano and Psycho Clown back at AAA Noche de los Grandes in May. R-Truth and Damian Priest meanwhile have held the WWE Tag Team titles since march, defeating Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga on an episode of SmackDown.
