After sending a powerful message to the WWE Tag Team Champions on Raw, The League of Nations wants to settle the score on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
PITTSBURGH — Break out those Booty-O’s, The New Day are still your (cue Xavier Woods’ voice and hip gyrations) Double U. Double U. E. World. Tag. Team. Champiooooonnnns … which isn’t to say they didn’t face some payback from the twice-humiliated League of Nations. This time, it was Alberto Del Rio & Rusev who battled New Day, following Sheamus & King Barrett’s failed attempt to add the Tag Titles to their (ahem) accolades at WWE Roadblock.
Despite the change-up in New Day’s lineup — Woods & Big E held down the fort while Kofi Kingston played hype man — the champions held tough against their foreign foes, particularly Woods, who had to carry the match after Del Rio stomped Big E face-first onto the apron. A distraction from Kingston helped Woods get the rollup on Rusev, but “the lads” didn’t take their loss lying down, dispatching Kingston with a Bull Hammer, Big E with a Brogue Kick, and Woods with the big stomp and Accolade before challenging New Day to a match at WrestleMania.
