WWE fans have been left wondering about the absence of top tag teams like The Motor City Machine Guns and The Street Profits from SmackDown television programming. These teams, who were once the cornerstones of the tag team division, have been missing for months, leading to speculation and concern among fans.
While major factions like The Wyatt Sicks and MFTs have been prominently featured in the tag division, the absence of teams like The Motor City Machine Guns and The Street Profits has not gone unnoticed. Fans have taken to social media to express their thoughts, with some even joking that these teams have become as invisible as John Cena, who recently retired from in-ring competition.
One fan suggested that The Motor City Machine Guns and The Street Profits should have signed with AEW, WWE’s rival promotion, to showcase their talents. Another fan highlighted the decline of the tag team division on SmackDown, pointing out that these teams were once key players in the division’s success.
The Wyatt Sicks, who have been dominating the tag team scene, recently lost the WWE Tag Team Championships to MFTs on a recent episode of SmackDown. With the tag team division now revolving around these two factions, fans are eagerly awaiting the return of teams like The Motor City Machine Guns and The Street Profits.
Some fans have speculated that The Motor City Machine Guns may have been demoted to WWE’s partner promotion, AAA, following their last appearance in January 2026. Others have suggested that The Street Profits’ absence could be due to personal reasons, such as Montez Ford taking time off to be with his wife, Bianca Belair, during her injury.
As fans continue to question the whereabouts of these top tag teams, it remains to be seen when they will make their return to SmackDown and shake up the tag team division once again. The absence of these talented teams has left a void in the division, and fans are eagerly anticipating their comeback to bring back the excitement and energy they once brought to the ring.
