Tag Team Turmoil Match to determine the #1 Contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship: Gold and Stardust vs. A New Day vs. Cesaro and Tyson Kidd vs. The Usos vs. Adam Rose and The Bunny
Kofi Kingston pinned Stardust after Midnight Hour (The assisted-Big Ending with Big E) to eliminate Gold and Stardust, after A New Day dominated Stardust.
Cesaro and Kidd were out next, and they had an early advantage over A New Day, until Kidd’s cocky side came out, and he allowed Kofi to make a hot tag to Big E. Kofi’s high-flying seemed destined to Cesaro and Kidd, but after a distraction from Gold and Stardust, Kidd rolled Kofi up to eliminate A New Day.
The Usos came charging down the ramp next, and they had early control. However, after some unintentional help from Natalya, Cesaro was able to regain control for his team.
Natalya would get involved again, and helped Kidd deliver a kick to the head of Jimmy Uso, but Jimmy delivered a superkick to Kidd when he went for a springboard move. Jimmy then tagged Jey Uso in, and dove onto Cesaro, while Jey hit a splash on Kidd to eliminate Kidd and Cesaro.
Rose and The Bunny were the last team to enter, and after their typical in-fighting, Jey hit another top-rope splash, this time on Rose, to become the #1 Contenders.
The Usos last defeat Rose and The Bunny via pinfall.
2.75 out of 5 stars – This was a pretty good match, but they tried to do too much. Plus, Rose and The Bunny should’ve been eliminated first, nobody believed they had a shot.
Naomi, The Miz and Damien Mizdow backstage
Miz said he couldn’t wait to face The Usos for the tag titles, and he couldn’t wait to see Naomi in action tonight, since he voted for her to be AJ Lee’s tag team partner. He said her twerking was impressive in her new music video, “Dance All Night,” and offered her a business card for somebody he knew in Hollywood.
It would be interesting to see this dynamic continue to develop. A rivalry can feel really personal when somebody’s wife gets involved.
