PITTSBURGH – The longest tag team title reign in WWE history came to an end at Roadblock: End of the Line as Cesaro & Sheamus triumphed over The New Day to capture the Raw Tag Team Championships.
Few expected the unlikely team of The Swiss Superman and The Celtic Warrior to end The New Day’s momentous 483-day run as they had initially been forced to compete together by Raw General Manager Mick Foley. Yet, their epic victory proved that they are a powerhouse tandem.

The team’s ability was clear from the start of the match as Cesaro & Sheamus immediately took Big E out of the equation before they picked Kofi Kingston apart. Eventually, the champions managed to make the tag and regain their offense. When Sheamus accidently dropped Cesaro, it looked like The Day New might overcome yet another challenge.
The Swiss Superman roared back, though, and nearly won the match by submission. Woods’ interference outside the ring saved The New Day’s reign for what felt like the thousandth time. It would also be the last time.
Cesaro & Sheamus challenge the longest reigning tag team champions of all-time — The New Day.
In what will be remembered as the final seconds of The New Day’s epic title run, Kingston thought Cesaro had been tagged in and took the opportunity to hit him with Trouble in Paradise. Unfortunately for Kofi, Cesaro was not the legal man — Sheamus was. The Celtic Warrior quickly jumped in and picked up the pin on the unsuspecting champion.
Following the match, Cesaro hugged his defeated opponents in a great show of respect. The Celtic Warrior, however, snatched the titles away from the former champions and held up both prizes on his own.
Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E are visibly shaken after losing their Raw Tag Team Titles to Sheamus & Cesaro at WWE Roadblock: End of the Line 2016.
Now that incredible reign of The New Day has come to a close, can Cesaro & Sheamus continue to effectively co-exist and stay on the top of Raw’s tag team mountain? Or will a new tandem quickly knock them off the perch?
