The Midnight Rockers lost the WWA World Tag Team titles in Bonn, Germany to the WWA European Tag Team Champions Strike Force (Shane "The Hurricane" Helms and Maxwell "The Maniac" Morgan). The victory came thanks to interference of Kevin Nash who attacked Marty Jannetty prior the match.
Nash has been harassing Michaels since he picked Jannetty over Nash as his partner to replace the now departed Brandon Myers, even following them to Europe on tour.
Kevin Nash and Shawn Michaels have a long history together, dating back to Nash serving as a bodyguard to Michaels in the 90's. But Michaels and Jannetty's history go back further to the 80’s as The Midnight Rockers and winning five world tag team titles.
Jannetty was unable to compete in the event after the attack per doctors orders. WWA on hand officials ruled that Michaels either pick another partner or forfeit the titles. In a shocking turn of events, Michaels picked Kevin Nash! It was clear from the beginning that Michaels had set his former friend up for a failure. Shawn Michaels finally left the ring leaving Nash one on two vs. the top tag team in Europe. It was not long until Strike Force got the best of Nash and won the titles.
Jannetty and Michaels have filed a formal order of appeal with the WWA Championship committee protesting the match as under duress. The Board will meet on February 19th in St. Louis.
In the meantime...
The Midnight Rockers still hold the PWA Tag Team Titles and are set to defend the titles at the Royal Rumble on February 21st, if Jannetty is ready for action by then. If not...The Rockers could see the PWA Tag Teams Titles forfeited next. And look for more allot more friction between Michaels and Nash.
Strike Force will remain the WWA World Tag Titles champions, pending further actions from the WWA Board (if any).
