Raw Tag Team Championship Match
Cesaro and Sheamus (c) vs. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows

Result: Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows defeat Cesaro and Sheamus via disqualification.

Rating: 3.0 out of 5 stars

This looked to be all about Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows finally coming out of this match successful with the Raw Tag Team Championship. However, Sheamus had accidentally struck the referee (Jon Cone), and after the new official came in to count the pinfall, Cone reversed the finish to a disqualification. So, Sheamus and Cesaro would still retain.

This finish works… if the babyfaces were chasing the championships. Should we feel bad that Anderson and Gallows, the heels in this equation, were the ones that got screwed out of the belts? I guess the Celtic Warrior is still considered a heel, but he has wrestled like a face during this tag title run with Cesaro. That shouldn’t change anything about this ending, though, which will leave fans scratching their heads.
