There wasn’t a whole lot to this one. Only a couple of minutes of actual in-ring action for the former champs, and they made short work of Slater and Rhyno. What was there was decent, not spectacular. Slater got to work over Cesaro for a bit, but Rhyno especially looked like a legit powerhouse for about 30 seconds, running roughshod with some big lariats.
But a bit of chaos towards the end with all four men in the ring led to Rhyno eating a nasty Brogue Kick. After a three count, The Bar emerged victorious, and stared down the champs at the announce booth.
If it wasn’t already official, it is now – The Shld will defend the Raw Tag Team Titles at No Mercy against The Bar.
