Viking Raiders (c) vs. Street Profits [Raw Tag Team Championships]
Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford of the Street Profits answer the challenge. Street Profits start out hot with a rapid dropkicks, suicide dives, spine busters, and frog splashes for the two-count on Erik since Ivar broke it up. Street Profits attempts a double team move on Erik, but Erik tags in Ivar who plays the cartwheel game with Montez Ford.
Montez Ford gets heated up for the crowd and runs into a spinning heel kick by Ivar. Montez Ford gets the hot tag to Angelo Dawkins, who hits a picture perfect scoop slam on Ivar for the two-count. He then tags Ford back in, but Ivar counters their double team move with a double back elbow. Ivar tags in Erik who delivers a solid knee strike to Dawkins.
Erik and Ivar then focus on Ford to deliver a Viking Experience for the three-count and the victory. The Viking Raiders are still the Raw Tag Team Champions and they show sportsmanship with the Street Profits after the match.

Seth Rollins interrupts the moment between Viking Raiders and Street Profits to cut a promo about his unfinished business with AOP. He wants to handle it RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW! Instead, Kevin Owens comes out with his steel pipe and calls out Rollins to get AOP out here since he knows they are not here because they are not that smart enough to hide.
The camera then shifts to the titantron where AOP come out of a vehicle and approach the ring. The show then goes to commercial break.
Result: Viking Raiders Retain
Grade: 3.0/5.0 Stars
Analysis: The Viking Raiders and The Street Profits had an incredible tag team match to steal the show. This goes to show how a tag team revolution is necessary in the WWE because the tag teams definitely deserve more attention inside the squared circle. Seth Rollins interrupting this moment was quite rude and uncharacteristic of a locker room leader. Nonetheless, AOP is coming.
