#2. AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan vs. The Usos

The first fight of the night usually has a lot riding on it, and this one was no different. In a classic case of an experienced tag team facing two great singles competitors, this match was going to be a slobber knocker.

The Usos have not been involved in a high profile match for a while now, and in this match, they showed the entire WWE universe what they had been missing. The match was a clash of styles pitting the Usos in-sync tag team wrestling against the unorthodox style of AJ Style and the more technical style of Daniel Bryan.

Everyone had a chance to shine as the match had some of the most memorable spots of the night. In my opinion, the best moment was when AJ unexpectedly applied the calf crusher on Jey and when Jimmy tried to interfere, Daniel Bryan caught him in the Yes Lock.

At the end of the night, in-sync tag team wrestling proved to be more efficient as the Usos stood victorious.

Arctic's verdict: This match should have been the main event instead of the first match of the show. The two teams set a very high standard for all the matches that would follow.
