2: Jason Jordan's Title Win

Why d
Why did this happen?

When Jason Jordan picked up the Raw Tag Team Championships with Seth Rollins on Christmas Day it surprised a lot of people. But Dean Ambrose is out of action and WWE obviously had some big repositioning to accomplish and they didn't have much time to figure something out.

Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE needed to establish Jason Jordan in a big way and it needed to happen quickly. WWE had to do an about-face on his heel turn and give him a huge babyface rub with Rollins.

This is why Jason Jordan scored the pinfall over Cesaro with his elevated neckbreaker for the clean win. After all, it might be obvious on a surface level who the bigger star is on the team, but the fact that Jordan was the one making the pinfall will certainly do a lot on a subconscious level to put the new Raw Tag Team Champions on an equal playing field.
