A kick, a Samoan Drop and another two count for Jey gives his team the upper hand.

There is nothing to complain about in this match because it was just pure entertainment, right? I agree on some ends. I finally saw a weakness in Jimmy and Jey. What else do they really do besides some superkicks, Samoan Drops and body splashes to the outside? I enjoy them and am not discrediting their talents, but this is a great time for them to add more dimensions to their offense. The champions retain and I can only wonder who is next to face them. I can see them being more faces with The Ascension coming up. I feel like it is now or never for them in NXT. They have nothing else to accomplish down there. They would be a jolt of fresh air on a weak Tag Team Division outside of these two teams that put on a great match.
