and they are....the spirit squad!
On the
April 3, edition of
RAW, Kenny and Mikey, with outside help from the other three members of the Squad, defeated
Big Show and
Kane to win the
World Tag Team Championship. After winning the titles an (kayfabe) "executive edict" was declared stating that all five members were recognized as the champions, with any two members being allowed to defend the titles at once (see
Freebird Rule).
On
May 22,
2006,
RAW was in
Las Vegas and Vince McMahon signed a 5 vs. 1 Handicap Match pitting the Spirit Squad against Shawn Michaels. However, the match never started and The Spirit Squad brutally beat down Michaels. They ripped apart his ring attire and shattered his knee with a steel chair (as he was going for his
Sweet Chin Music). Vince called Triple H to the ring to finish Michaels off with a sledgehammer shot. However, Kenny suddenly snatched the sledgehammer away and disrespected Triple H, which led to Triple H attacking the group.
Spirit Squad would continue to feud with both Triple H and Shawn Michaels, who would team to revive the
DX faction. DX played various sophomoric pranks on the Squad and the McMahons, as well as defeating Spirit Squad in various handicap tag matches during
Vengeance and
Saturday Night's Main Event.
