Entrée ex Machina are the GEW Tag Team Champions after having been paired together, reluctantly, to face off against the former champions, The Empire of Blood. Their name derives from Ripplemagne's former tag team with The Tang, who feuded with Napalm before; Matinée ex Machina. The alteration of the word "Matinée" to "Entrée" is a pun on Napalm's girth. However, despite rocky beginnings, the two have united under one banner and formed the Matinée ex Machina Inc. stable with The Tang.
