Cesaro and Sheamus were passive-aggressively impressive as a tag team for two weeks before mixing it up with individual members of The New Day, at which point their Mick Foley–mandated union seemed to veer sharply off the tracks. But The King of Swing and Celtic Warrior seem to find a way to win when they’re in the ring together. They did so at the expense of New Day themselves in a non-title warm up to their Hell in a Cell match for the Raw Tag Team Championship.

Not only did they win, but they also seemed — for the first time — to be a true unit, employing a variation on the Unicorn Stampede by battering Kofi Kingston with a revolving door of European uppercuts. Ironically Sheamus, whom New Day had tried to “shame” both before and during the match, provided the difference, tagging in during a key moment to throw off New Day’s chemistry. After Cesaro disposed of an airborne Kingston with a devastating European uppercut outside the ring, the Irishman blasted Big E with the Brogue Kick to win.
