History[]
Background[]
Like Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder (who were mentored by Edge), Heath and Justin have ties to Gangrel's old Brood stable via their mentors Christian and Matt Hardy.
The pair first tagged together on NXT on Mar 23 where they defeated Skip Sheffield (later to become Ryback) and Wade Barrett.
They later battled on May 18 with Justin defeating Heath.
WWE Tag Team Champions (2010-2011)[]
On the October 25 episode of Raw, Barrett made a tag team match, with Gabriel and Slater facing Otunga and Cena for the championship. Gabriel and Slater won when Barrett ordered Otunga to allow Slater to pin him, becoming the new Tag Team Champions. Gabriel and Slater held the championship for nearly two months, before losing it to Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov in a four-way elimination match also involving The Uso Brothers and Mark Henry and Yoshi Tatsu on the December 6 episode of Raw. Gabriel and Slater received a rematch for the championship at the TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs pay-per-view on December 19, but lost by disqualification when Nexus member Michael McGillicutty interfered.
