Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins vs. Cesaro and Sheamus for the Raw Tag Team Titles is up next.

The Champs are out first.  Then Rollins came out, followed by Deano Machino.  They both had their own music.

The challengers were in control early until they took Dean out on the floor.  Rollins did a tope and the champs caught him and dumped him on the floor.  Champs in control.

Seth fought his way out of the corner and wen for the tag but Ambrose is still out on the floor.  Cesar saw a doppe with a beach ball in the crowd.  He went out and grabbed it and ripped it to shreds.  HUGE babyface moment.  Seriously.

Seth kept fighting and Dean finally made it back to the corner.  Now Seth had to get to him, but the champs kept working so that wouldn't happen.  Then Sheamus suckered Ambrose into the ring to give them an advantage.  They worked Seth on the floor but Dean came off the tope with an elbow.  Seth made the hot tag despite Sheamus trying to stop him.

This led to the challengers hitting double topes to the floor.  Then it was back and forth for the next few minutes.  Every man for himself.  

It was really good stuff, back and forth, near the end.  All four guys were killing it.  The champs kept getting near falls on Dean.  Then we got the finish, which was awesome, and we got another Title Change.  I will wait for the video to come up to show you.  

This was an excellent bout, great stuff.

AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens, with Shano Mac as the ref, for the US Title is next.

The king of strong style and fighting known as Shane McMahon is out first, looking buff in his ref shirt which also has his name on it.  Now there is a wild merchandise line.  KO was next, to a nice pop.  The peeps were ready for AJ.

They started hot.  On the back of Shane's buff ref shirt it says, "The Money".  They made that sucker special for him!

KO is in control early.  Shane is just reffing.

AJ came back.  These two are working hard.  It looks like Shane is sweating more than both of them put together.

KO was the first one to get in contact with Shane, pushing him into the rope to crotch AJ.  Shane let it go.  AJ hit a Sunset Flip powerbomb.  AJ did the 450 springboard.  KO pulled Shane on him and AJ nailed him.  KO went to work with the Pop Up for a two. KO yelled at Shane, who seemed to not realized KO pulled him on top.  Maybe the sweat got in his eyes and he missed it.

KO then kicked AJ into Shane, knocking him to the floor.  AJ locked on the Calf Crusher but when KO tapped out, the kick did what the helicopter couldn't and Shane missed it.  Shane is now mad at AJ and he pushed AJ into a rollup for two.  Jeez.  Shane shouldn't be a ref. 

KO ran into a forearm and then took a suplex into the turnbuckle.  AJ went up to the top but KO turned it into suplex from the top.  He got a two count.  It was a sick spot.  KO is mad he didn't get a three.  Shane, what did you get yourself into?

After a cool exchange AJ hit the Styles Clash but only got two.

AJ went for the Forearm but missed and KO got the Pop Up.  Shane got to two but then saw the foot in the rope.  KO is NOT happy.  He argued with Shane, allowing AJ to recover.  He pushed Shane, who pushed him back.  KO went over AJ and went for a roll up.  Two count only.

AJ hit a Pele kick, Phenomenal Forearm, then a Style Clash.  1-2-3.

AJ wins a very good match.  The Shane stuff added a little fluff to it but it was still really good.  KO is now pissed off and must be destroyed by Shane in the Cell.  It is his destiny and it shall come to pass.
