The Motor City Machine Guns[a] are an American professional wrestling tag team consisting of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin. They are best known for their time with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA)/Impact Wrestling. The team name, which has been variably Motor and Murder City, is a play on the nickname of Detroit, the hometown of both Shelley and Sabin. The duo also make appearances for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) on the NJPW Strong brand, as well as Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) and Deadlock Pro-Wrestling (DPW). Originally forming a team in Pro Wrestling Zero1 in 2006, Shelley and Sabin have worked together on and off ever since.
Overall they are four-time World Tag Team Champions - having won three Impact World Tag Team Championships and one ROH World Tag Team Championship while in Ring of Honor (ROH) - and in NJPW they have held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship and Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship once each.
