Raw Tag Team Championship Match
Cesaro and Sheamus (c) vs. Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins

Result: Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins defeat Cesaro and Sheamus via pinfall to win the Raw Tag Team Championship.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

At plenty of WWE events that are in front of red-hot crowds, they bring beach balls. Why? Who knows, but it gets unnecessary attention. So, Cesaro saw this and decided to sprint into the crowd and rip the ball apart with his hands. It got the loudest pop of the night by far.

Ambrose and Rollins were in sync from the start, which brought back memories from their Shield days. It looked like they never lost a step together, as they worked a crisp game on Cesaro and Sheamus

For the latest title change of the evening, it was Ambrose and Rollins taking home the Raw Tag Team Championship. From the main card, this was the best match of the night. It had all the electrifying spots and intense action that was entertaining, far exceeding anything of the first two-and-a-half hours.

For the former Shield members, they reunited and officially achieved gold, bring superstardom and a sense of nostalgia back. It’s satisfying and something WWE fans should embrace for as long as it lasts.

The Raw Tag Team Division was in need of something to happen after The Revival’s injuries and Enzo Amore and Big Cass’ break-up. Rollins and Ambrose are the answers to that, with this section on Raw hotter than ever.
