Cody Rhodes wasted no time in his tag team bout against Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara, taking it to The International Sensation with a flurry of offense after the opening bell. Sin Cara responded in kind, felling Rhodes with a dizzying attack that sent him back to his own corner and a conference with Tensai on how best to handle the situation.

The solution, apparently, was to send in the muscle, as Tensai tagged in and proceeded to tenderize Sin Cara like a side of beef, opening the door for Rhodes to tag back in and continue his pummeling of the masked icon. Rhodes quickly used his technical prowess against Sin Cara, trapping him in a torturous submission hold before making his first move against the mask.

Tensai then re-entered the fray, slamming Sin Cara to the mat with a pair of body slams and trapping his shoulder in a nerve hold before The International Icon sent Tensai staggering back to the corner with an eye-popping enzuigiri. Rhodes tagged back in, but wasn't fast enough to stop Sin Cara from summoning Mysterio from the sidelines. The Master of the 619 nearly had victory in hand, though, before Tensai interfered and saved his partner from defeat. The mighty expatriate was met with a 619 for his troubles, and Rhodes suffered the same fate when he attempted to capitalize off Mysterio's distraction.

Sin Cara tagged in for a soaring senton bomb on the prone Rhodes to seal the contest with the greatest of ease.
