1. Team Hell No And The New Day vs. The Bludgeon Brothers And SAnitY

A trend that began last night was impromptu tag team matches taking place after chaotic endings to other segments.  That trend got started after Miz TV opened up the show with special guests Daniel Bryan and Kane, Team Hell No.

The Miz tried getting under Bryan and Kane’s skin and it eventually worked, only that would cost Team Hell No as both The Bludgeon Brothers and SAnitY came out along with some help from The New Day.  This led to a 10-man tag team match in the main event last night that saw Team Hell No and The New Day team up to battle The Bludgeon Brothers and SAnitY just days before all four teams will battle at Extreme Rules.

With the amount of talent in the ring and tremendous tag team talent at that, this was bound to be a memorable showdown.  That rang true and all four teams had impressive showings that left a mark.  The heelish teams managed to keep things in check for a while, but the babyface teams turned the tide and chaos ensued.  The New Day and Kane helped take care of SAnitY and The Bludgeon Brothers while Bryan would finish off SAnitY’s leader Eric Young.

The Yes Lock spelled doom for Young and he tapped out to The Yes Man, securing the win for Team Hell No and The New Day.  It was a wild and fun match, to say the least, and the post-match moment was even more entertaining when Bryan tried to ignite flames in the vintage Kane way.  And wouldn’t you know, he managed to pull it off while Kane stood shocked.  This was a great night for all teams involved heading into Extreme Rules.

Two separate tag team matches could both steal the show on Sunday, but last night’s coincided teaming up paid dividends for both feuds.
