Ace Austin & Chris Bey win Impact Tag Team titles

Impact Wrestling has new tag team champions as Ace Austin & Chris Bey won the gold Thursday in an impromptu win over the Motor City Machine Guns.

Now going by ABC (Ace & Bey Connection), the two opened up Thursday’s Impact on AXS by claiming they were the best team in the company. Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin came out and disagreed, calling Bey’s bluff for a title match at this month’s Sacrifice and choosing to do it Thursday instead.

Bey & Austin got the win after Bey hit the Art of Finesse on Shelley followed by Austin’s The Fold for the pin and win. 

The title is the second for Austin in Impact as he is a three-time X-Division Champion. The same goes for Bey who is also a former X-Division titleholder.

The loss ends Shelley & Sabin’s third reign with the titles at 78 days. They also hold the NJPW Strong Tag Team titles.
