SmackDown Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way Match: The Usos (c) vs. Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura vs. The Bar vs. Aleister Black & Ricochet
Another one of the night’s chaotic matches came next on WrestleMania as The Usos defended the SmackDown Tag Team Titles in a Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match against The Bar, Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura, and Aleister Black & Ricochet.
The match started crazy with lots of quick tags, as any competitor could tag any other to enter the match, but only two men would be legal at any time. Competitors kept tagging themselves in, each looking to garner an upperhand. This tendency continued throughout the match, making it very difficult to follow the action and know who was legal at any given time.
Ricochet and Aleister Black kept hitting big moments, even with Ricochet hitting a heart-stopping around the world hurricanrana on Cesaro. The Swiss Cyborg retaliated by going for his epic swing, and Sheamus grabbed Rusev on the apron and hit his ten beats of the Bodhran. Nakamura tried to stop Sheamus, and began a trend where Sheamus kept changing and delivering the beats to Nakamura, Uso, Black, all while Cesaro kept swinging Ricochet.
Finally Cesaro ended the epic swing and put Ricochet in the sharpshooter, but The One and Only fought out. The action continued to get crazy, and we saw The Bar ascend the turnbuckle to suplex Ricochet off the top. However, The Usos joined the grouping to backdrop The Bar and in the process. Rusev and Nakamura grabbed them, powerbombing The Usos and sending everyone crashing to the mat, but Ricochet somehow landed on his feet and rolled through unscathed.
Ricochet nailed the 630 Senton moments later, but the pinfall attempt was broken up by Jimmy Uso, Cesaro, Nakamura, and Rusev. Jey Uso tagged himself in only to get an uppercut from Cesaro. A series of kicks saw many different superstars knocked down, finally winding down to The Usos in the ring with Sheamus. Despite an attempt to block one, Sheamus received multiple superkicks before The Usos nailed the double splash from the top ropes to pick up the win and retain their titles.
Grade: A+, This was a fantastic match. Great execution from all parties, and some unforgettable spots that led to The Usos proving their dominance yet again. Ricochet and Aleister Black with some great moments in their first WrestleMania.
