Good, solid back and forth tag match with a nice pace and some good work by all involved.
They aired a New Day video pushing the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards.
WWE Smackdown Tag Team champions The Usos vs. The New Day.
Xavier Woods started off with Jey Uso. He got drilled hard early and The Usos cornered him and tagged in and out, stomping him hard. Corey Graves referenced the Samoan SWAT Team. I popped for that. Xavier finally tagged out to Kofi Kingston, who nailed a lot of hot offensive maneuvers before nailing the Boom Drop.
Lots of really good back and forth action. Kingston was worked over but made the tag to Xavier. Xavier fired back with roaring forearms. Kingston added a kick, setting up Jimmy Uso for a Woods superkick. Kofi tagged in and went to the top. Xavier nailed a superkick and Kofi nailed a superfly splash for a two count.
New Day were sent to the outside, setting up a double dive from the Usos onto all three members of New Day.
The Bludgeon Brothers’ music hit, and they came down to the ring. They attacked everyone on the floor, so the referee rang the bell. I get they are obviously setting up Wrestlemania but given the level of work those involved could pull out in the ring, this was disappointing to see.
The Brothers pulled Woods off the apron and suplexed him down to the floor. They ran the Usos into each other, then slammed them on the floor. Harper slammed Harper atop of one of the Usos and then splashed the champions.
They then powerbombed Woods on the bottom half of the ring steps.
Everyone was left destroyed by the Bludgeon Brothers. As a vehicle to get them over, it was very effective. One would assume a three-way bout at Wrestlemania.
They promoted the Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar storyline leading into Wrestlemania.
AJ Styles was being interviewed by Renee Young when Shinsuke Nakamura showed up. Nakamura told him he hoped that AJ won tonight so he could beat AJ. An intense AJ cut him off and warned him that at Wrestlemania, Nakamura was who was going to get beat.
They stretchered out all of the Bludgeon Brothers’ victims.
