A title-for-title tag team match on SmackDown ended in a double disqualification after WWE Hall of Famer Haku attacked all four competitors [1].
The chaotic finish prevents a definitive winner in a high-stakes clash that pitted the current champions against the War Raiders, also known as the MFTs [1, 2].
Damian Priest and R-Truth entered the match having celebrated 100 days as WWE Tag Team Champions [3]. The duo originally won the titles on March 20, 2026 [3]. The match was intended to settle the championship hierarchy, but the proceedings were interrupted when Haku appeared alongside the MFTs to launch a coordinated assault on the wrestlers.
Officials ruled the contest a double disqualification [1]. Because championships typically do not change hands via disqualification in WWE rules, the result means Priest and R-Truth retain their titles [1]. However, the lack of a clean victory leaves the rivalry between the champions and the War Raiders unresolved.
The interference by Haku, a legendary figure in the industry, signals a shift in the division's landscape. By targeting both the champions and the challengers, the MFTs have established a new level of volatility within the tag team ranks.
While some reports initially suggested a successful defense by Priest and R-Truth, the official match outcome remains a no-contest due to the brawl [1].

The involvement of a Hall of Famer like Haku transforms a standard title defense into a broader faction war. By forcing a double disqualification, the MFTs have effectively neutralized the champions' momentum while ensuring the titles remain in play for a future, likely more violent, encounter.
