He misses a frog splash and Jericho gets the LIonsault for two. Back in, Jericho catches the flying knee and turns it into the Walls of Jericho, but Seth makes the ropes. Seth with a blockbuster for two, but Jericho gets his own enzuigiri and they fight to the floor. Seth comes back with the enzuigiri and they slug it out, won by Rollins. Jericho chokes him down and smacks him around as this is taking forever to get out of first gear. Back in, Jericho goes to the chinlock and hits a dropkick for two. Rollins slingshots him into the corner, but tries to go up and Jericho dropkicks him off the apron. Seth tosses him for that devastating “glancing knee” off the apron, but Jericho hits him with a clothesline off an eye-rake to take over. Jericho slugs away in the corner and unfortunately watching this show with headphones on my iPad means the spot-calling is pretty obvious. They fight over a wristlock and Rollins slugs away in the corner, but Jericho gets the missile dropkick for two. There was no real storyline to the match here, and no point when it looked like Sami was in any serious danger and had to fight out of it. Braun hits the post again and Sami gets a bodypress for two, but Braun throws him out of the ring and time expires at 10:00. Anyway, then we waste another two minutes of the match playing out that drama, and Strowman charges and runs through the barricade, but beats the count back in. Braun keeps pounding away in boring fashion, which brings out Mick Foley with a white towel. Back in, Braun gets a corner splash for two, but picks him up for more punishment. Sami low-bridges him to the floor and follows with a dive, but Braun drops him on the apron. Sami uses his speed to start, but gets tossed around by Strowman and choked out. And he has the holiday scarf to prove it.ġ0 Minute Challenge: Sami Zayn v. Meanwhile, Kevin Owens thinks the interview-bot is really stupid and he’s best friends with Chris Jericho UNCONDITIONALLY. ****1/4 And the new champs still don’t like each other, but still share a hug. And then we get an INCREDIBLY clever finish, as Sheamus pretends to dive for a tag and Cesaro comes in, as Kofi mistakenly goes after Cesaro (who wasn’t actually the legal man) and Sheamus pins Kofi to win the tag team titles at 10:00. Sheamus tags himself in while Cesaro takes care of Big E, but Xavier sacrifices himself and takes the Brogue for Kofi. Sheamus gets rid of Xavier while Kofi taps behind the ref’s back, so Cesaro hits the Neutralizer for two instead. Cesaro escapes the Midnight Special and gets a rana from the top on Kofi, which leads into the Giant Swing and Sharpshooter. Giant Swing is accidentally broken up by Sheamus and the Big Ending gets two. Cesaro comes in with a double-team White Noise for two and then follows with a huge spinning forearm off the springboard. Sheamus comes back with a necksnap on Big E, but walks into a powerbomb that gets two. Cesaro finally misses a charge and posts himself, allowing Kofi to dump Sheamus and Big E to hit the apron spear and a big splash for two. Sheamus goes to the chinlock, but then they get rid of the other New Days and hit a double-team into Cesaro’s forearm. Sheamus in with a suplex for two, and they double-team Kofi with some rapid-fire stuff, and Sheamus slingshots in with a shoulderblock for two. Cesaro immediately dropkicks Kofi for two and throws forearms, and they do a really nice little reversal sequence before Kofi escapes the Giant Swing. The New Day try to come up with some team names for Sheamus & Cesaro but all the choices are pretty weak. Your hosts are Michael Cole, Bryon Saxton & Corey Graves I still have no idea what the title of the show is supposed to be referring to.
