 On the episode of Nitro after Fall Brawl , Riggs and Bagwell won the World Tag Team Championship after defeating then @-@ champions Harlem Heat ( Booker T and Stevie Ray ) in an upset win in an impromptu match . The American Males had been scheduled to face The Blue Bloods , but Harlem Heat attacked both members of the Blue Bloods prior to the match and volunteered to take their place . As champions , the pair defeated Harlem Heat and the team of Dick Slater and Bunkhouse Buck . However , Bagwell and Riggs lost the titles back to Harlem Heat one week later on Saturday Night . The American Males remained top challengers for the title belts for the rest of 1995 but were unable to regain the championship from Harlem Heat .
