Kazarian said becoming the first tag teams champions “will never, ever be lost on me.” He dedicated the match to Killer Kowalski and his family.
For Killer Kowalski. For my family. For CD. For everyone that has been on this journey with me the past 21 years. Being the first tag team champions ever in this amazing company will never, ever be lost on me. Tonight’s importance cannot be understated. We all made history. pic.twitter.com/21HrBV3VGz

This is the second tag team title run for Scorpio Sky and Kazarian, as the two were also Ring of Honor champions together. They also held the six-man tag titles in ROH with Christopher Daniels.
Sometimes all you need is one more chance. #AndFirst
