Despite being laid out by Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson last week, The New Day were forced to face the good brothers on Raw with the caveat that one of their numbers would be banned from ringside, a development that is booty by almost every conceivable measure. The unlucky unicorn turned out to be Xavier Woods thanks to a loss in a backstage game of “Match the Fruit,” but Big E & Kofi Kingston didn’t have any trouble picking up the slack in hometown hero Woods’ absence.

In fact, Big E got the pin rather quickly, taking down Karl Anderson while he was preoccupied with Too-Sweeting “The Suntan Biker Man.” Gallows & Anderson didn’t take that too well; they disposed of a returning Woods and blasted Big E with two Boots of Doom before wishboning his legs against the ring post as a way to, potentially, position themselves as potential No. 1 contenders to the WWE Tag Team Titles. Not bad for a loss.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson get their hands on the WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day, without one of their members at ringside.
