After winning the WWE Tag Team Championships, high-flyers Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vowed to take the tag team division to new heights. However, the Superstars collectively known as “Air Boom” will face a fairly steep challenge at Night of Champions. There, the conspiracy-obsessed alliance of The Miz & R-Truth will vie for Kingston & Bourne’s illustrious titles.

It’s easy to imagine such like-minded ring warriors as Kingston & Bourne finding common ground, but few could have expected The Awesome One to get on the same page as someone like Truth – a Superstar that has been utterly consumed by his belief in a vast conspiracy keeping him from reaching his full potential. Frustrated that he is no longer in the spotlight just months after a successful WWE Championship defense at WrestleMania XXVII, The Miz eventually found credence in Truth’s often baffling rants. Perhaps there is a conspiracy afoot in WWE, and the most “must-see” WWE Champion in history could be another victim.

Kingston & Bourne asked the WWE Universe to sound off on Twitter and help them choose an exciting new moniker for their team just moments after their monumental WWE Tag Team Title victory over the menacing tandem of Michael McGillicutty & David Otunga. The response on Twitter was overwhelming, but the newly crowned titleholders ultimately settled on “Air Boom,” a name that encapsulates Bourne’s aerial ability and Kingston’s propensity for dropping the “boom” on his opponents – a potential fate for The Miz & R-Truth at Night of Champions.

“Air Boom” embraces its natural ability to connect with WWE Universe members all around the world, but The Miz & R-Truth’s relationships with WWE fans are strained at best. Irate that they did not have a match scheduled for Night of Champions, the outspoken duo issued a brash challenge to the WWE Tag Team Champions, affirming that “Air” Bourne and The Dreadlocked Dynamo would “get got” on the most prestigious night of the year in Buffalo, New York.

Will The Miz & R-Truth deflate “Air Boom?” Or will Kingston & Bourne silence the vocal conspiracy theorists? To find out, tune in to Night of Champions, Sept. 18, only on pay-per-view.
