1. SmackDown Tag Team Championship: The New Day (c) vs The Usos
You know, for a feud that has gone on far too long with way too many title changes, The Usos and The New Day still don’t look like they’re ready to slow this thing down. And if you thought the whole ordeal would finally come to an end Sunday night inside the cell, you’re dead wrong. Because these two teams didn’t just steal the show, they managed to produce what may will most likely top five match of the year candidate as well as one of the best matches in the history of HIAC. It’s uncanny that these two teams can continue to produce matches of this caliber during each outing and this is suddenly turning into one of the greatest tag team feuds in WWE history.
From the opening bell it was complete anarchy as both teams immediately went for weapons. From there, it never slowed down and all four men had multiple highlight reel moments that brought the “this is awesome” chant as early as three minutes in.The match had a perfect blend of savagery mixed with just a little bit of humor as The New Day kept finding instruments to assault the challengers with. But by the time the 15th kendo stick came out, this was all business. Complete with handcuffs and chairs, it was everything Hell In A Cell should be.
In victory, The Usos became 5-time champions while also cementing themselves as one of the most vicious teams in the company and thus proving their heel turn last September was clearly the right choice. And The New Day, even in defeat showed once again that they’re so much more than just a comedic routine and more like one of the best teams in WWE history.

So apparently this feud is going to continue. And for a feud that looked like it should’ve been over, it somehow picked up new life. It may be impossible for these teams to top what they did Sunday night, but as wrestling fans, we should all be excited about the prospect of them trying to.
