DH Smith and TJ Wilson lost their Florida Championship Wrestling tag team titles to Tyler Rex (also known as Gabe Tuft) and James Curtis at this past Thursday’s Florida Championship Wrestling television taping, reports FloridaIndies.com. Reiks & Curtis defeated Smith & Wilson in a non-title match as well as a follow-up tag team title match later in the night. This should be a good indication that the two are coming up to the SmackDown roster very soon with their “New Hart Foundation” act, hence the title change. The duo worked a dark match with Natalya as their manager two weeks ago before a SmackDown taping. Smith & Wilson now wear black tights with a pink maple leaf on them. WWE will be in the trio’s home country of Canada next Monday for a WWE Supershow featuring that week’s Raw & SmackDown tapings.
In other news from Thursday’s FCW taping, Eric Escobar captured the FCW Heavyweight title, defeating Sheamus, Joe Hennig and Drew McIntyre in a Fatal Four Way match. The recently signed Dakota Darsow made his FCW debut, defeating Ian Richardson. There was a huge six-man match featuring nothing but WWE Superstars as Ricky Ortiz, Scotty Goldman and Kizarny beat Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Gavin Spears. Speaking of Dolph Ziggler, he defeated Kafu earlier in the show. Santino Marella & Beth Phoenix also made a special appearance.
It was announced at the FCW taping that Goldust will be this week’s special guest WWE Superstar.
