WWE RAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
STEEL CAGE MATCH
THE HARDY BOYZ (c) vs. CESARO & SHEAMUS
It’s Jeff Hardy and Sheamus going after each other to start things off, as Matt Hardy and Cesaro exchange rights and lefts in the corner. Matt slammed his opponent’s head off the cage over and over as the crowd chanted “DELETE” with every bounce, and the Hardyz followed with running dropkicks to opposite sides of the ring. Jeff launches himself off his brother to find Poetry in Motion in the corner, squashing Sheamus, then follows up with the same on the Swiss Superman. Brother Nero begins to make the climb but Cesaro uses the ropes to vault himself up the cage and grab his legs, bringing him back down to the mat. Now it’s Cesaro trying to escape, but Jeff is back to return the favor. Sheamus tried for a Brogue Kick but Jeff ducked under it and launched himself into Cesaro, smashing him into the cage, as Matt came off the second rope with a big tornado DDT on the Celtic Warrior. Everyone is down. The Hardys are up first and make the climb, and soon all four guys are brawling fifteen feet into the air. Jeff makes it halfway down the outside but Cesaro grabs onto his arm and tries to pull him back inside; Hardy fights free and falls to the floor below, escaping the cage.
Matt realizes the problem as he’s now in a handicap situation, and both partners must escape to win the match. He connects with a Side Effect on Sheamus and starts to climb, making it up over the top before both challengers grab ahold of him. Jeff tries to pull his brother to freedom to no avail, and goes crashing to the ground below once more, as Matt is brutally planted with a double team Razor’s Edge. Seeing his partner in trouble Jeff tries to get back into the match, but Sheamus hits a Brogue Kick into the cage door that sends him flying. It’s a mugging now as the challengers just slowly pick apart Broken Matt. They drag him up to the top rope, and connect with an assisted Super White Noise. At this point Jeff has had enough, climbing the cage, throwing caution to the wind as he launches himself off the top of the cage with Whisper in the Wind to take down both opponents. The Hardys slowly crawl to the cage door, and Matt hits the floor first. He pulls his brother out, but Sheamus and Cesaro are climbing down the outside at the same time! Cesaro hits the floor, and Sheamus’ feet touch the ground just a split second before Jeff crumbles down as well. There’s a moment of pause as the bell rings…. and we have new champions! Awesome, awesome match.
