New tag champs eh? Goddamn.
I guess this was needed for the next chapter in the Judgment Day cause someone is surely getting removed soon. Nice to see Cody finally win gold in WWE again. Also when JD hit Priest in the knee with the briefcase that was hilarious

Why did they change Carlito’s theme

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

MC Bullhammer maybe my next name on here xD

Third match down. Pretty awesome triple threat from the ladies. Iyo retained, no surprise there. Maybe she needs Bayley more than than thought

 

[Sabretooth]

So now London AND Indianapolis deserve Wrestlemania. I guess they’re gonna do this in every city now

 

[Sabretooth]

This crowd could not possibly be any more hype for LA Knight. Just crazy.

 

[Sabretooth]

And John Cena/LA Knight take the victory. Nice to see Cena get a win again. Can’t wait to see how this plays out on Smackdown

 

[Sabretooth]

Well I’m not surprise Seth retained but this match kind of annoyed me. Shinsuke looks like a schmuck and Rollins is basically Super Cena at this point. Bro fell off a ladder through the announce table, sidewalk slam through a chair, kinshasa through a table and then a falcon arrow off the stage and STILL gets up and shinsuke can’t recover from the damn move?

At this point I don’t think Shinsuke is ever gonna get his flowers in WWE. I just hope he stays relevant after this loss.
