It wasn't a traditional match where both men were trying to get the win via pinfall. The buildup for this confrontation was nothing less than stellar, but the match itself was missing something. Sami Zayn Survives the 10-Minute Time LimitĬongratulations /dSKvzxRgtx is not a fan of holiday gift of a new scarf. Jericho never spoke, but when he threw Owens peace-offering back at him, it was pretty clear the apology wasn't accepted. Owens immediately began trying to convince Jericho to forgive him for the mishap that cost them the tag-team titles last week. His interview was interrupted when Chris Jericho showed up. Owens is one of the best in the WWE at insulting backstage interviewers. My only question is: What happens to the New Day from here? with respect for the 483-day champs! #WWERoadblock /oLsbHrhgiv #TheNewDay hands over the #RAW Tag Team Titles. Instead of a traditional and played-out passing-of-the-torch scene, we saw the continued dysfunction of the Cesaro and Sheamus team ruin the feel-good moment. Perhaps the best and most compelling aspect of the win was the scene in the ring after the pin. The ending was unusual but well orchestrated.Ĭesaro's fake tag and surprising pin of Kofi Kingston left me feeling fulfilled. The match had the requisite eb and flow and some excellently executed spots. Their dethroning couldn't have been booked any better. I love The New Day, but their historic title reign had to come to an end at some point. No, this was much better.Īs a matter of fact, Sheamus and Cesaro's tag-team-title-winning performance over The New Day was the best tag match from the Raw brand in some time.

The Revival feels like the team that will be at the developmental brand for the long run. Winning the belts would it only make it more likely that they stick around at NXT. Speculation about the two babyfaces moving to the main roster has been growing of late.Ī standout performance here in which they get cheated out of the titles would be a smart lead-in for their Raw debut. There's a great chance WWE went this route to help introduce Amore and Cassady to a wider audience. In a surprising move, NXT is getting a portion of the stage here. Perhaps this bout will ignite the rivalry, but it's too cold right now to predict anything other than The New Day retaining. As it stands, it just feels like some midcare fare to round out the card. If WWE had thoughts of crowning Sheamus and Company, it would have offered more foreshadowing and played up the two faction's issues. That indicates that there won't be a title change. League of Nations? Because they've done nothing with the feud on TV. Kevin Berge WWE still building up New Day vs. Make no mistake about it: This is a warm-up for The Beast Incarnate. It would make zero sense for WWE to then have Lesnar limp into the match for the sake of a guy who may end up getting crammed into the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Wyatt has no feud heading into the marquee event. Lesnar, meanwhile, has a No Holds Barred Street Fight with Ambrose on tap.
