The Motor City Machine Guns had a memorable AEW PPV debut, as they defeated FTR at WrestleDream 2026. The first match of the Best of Five Series kicked off at Tailgate Brawl and continued into the main show.

At one point, Stokley nearly cost FTR the match when he accidentally punched Dax Harwood at ringside. However, Dax was able to kick out after eating a Springboard DDT from Sabin.

The match saw both teams trade several nearfalls, for example, when FTR hit a Spiked Piledriver on Sabin or when Dax put his foot on the rope. The end came when the Motor City Machine Guns took Dax out of the equation and hit Cash with a double enzugiri and a double package powerbomb for victory.

Thanks to their victory, MCMG leads FTR 1-0 in the five-match series.
