[edit] History
[edit] Tag team championship pursuits (2012–present)
On the March 29 episode of IWE Superstars after Garcia defeated Booth in singles competition, they shook hands and agreed to become a tag team. They then competed in their first match as a tag team at WrestleMania XXVIII for the IWE Tag Team Championship in a triple threat tag team match also involving Epico and Primo being managed by Rosa Speranza, and The Usos, but were unsuccessful in retrieving the titles, and with Garcia suffering an elbow injury during the match.
The team reunited on th June 6 episode of NXT Redemption defeating the team of Bradlee Woehl and Devin Keller. They competed at the No Way Out pay-per-view in a fatal four way tag team match to become the #1 contenders for the IWE Tag Team Championship also involving Epico and Primo, The Usos, and the Prime Time Players (Titus O'Neil and Darren Young), but were unsuccessful with O'Niel and Young coming out victorious. On the June 21 episode of IWE Superstars, Booth and Garcia competed in tag team competition coming out victorious against the team of Chad Coulter and Tyler Rask, a feat they repeated on the July 26 and August 9 episodes of IWE Superstars again in winning efforts. On the August 24 episode of SmackDown, Booth and Garcia joined the other tag teams backstage in an argument on which team will be the new #1 contenders, which ended in a brawl.
The name International Airstrike was chosen on August 28 by the IWE fans via Tout and Twitter because Booth is a Canadian and Garcia is a South African. The team suffered their first loss on the August 31 episode of SmackDown against the Prime Time Players. On the September 21 episode of SmackDown, the team appeared as lumberjack's along during a tag team match between Kody Brown and Kane against Mark Semmler and Damien Sandow, ending in a disqualification after Semmler attacked Kane with a chair, who would afterwards assault the team's with Brown with chairs.
