Bourne and Kingston would form an official team in 2011. On the August 15th episode of Raw, Kingston and Bourne defeated WWE Tag Team Champions David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty in a non-title match to become #1 contenders to the Tag Team Championship. On the August 22nd episode of Raw, Kingston and Bourne beat Otunga and McGillicutty to win their first WWE Tag Team Championship while teaming together. On the August 29 episode of Raw, the duo was officially named "Air Boom", and they had their first successful title defense when they defeated Otunga and McGillicutty in a rematch. The name "Air Boom" was chosen by Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston on WWE.com after the Twitter followers of WWE were asked to submit names. Out of the 11 finalists, the name "Air Boom" was chosen, which was created by combining their monikers: “Air Bourne” for "Air" and “Boom Squad for "Boom".”
