Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson vs The New Day (C) (Raw Tag Team Championships)
Grade: 6/10
Gallows and Anderson were presented well from the get-go, ruthlessly attacking all three members of The New Day. Opening the show with a promo (even if it is from The New Day) wasn’t ideal, but the fast-paced beginning to the bout helped the crowd immerse themselves in the match. But, despite solid in-ring action from both teams, the finish left a lot to be desired.
This felt like the time to finally let Gallows and Anderson end the New Day’s run, but instead we got a babyface team cheating to win. The match felt like it was building to a fitting ending, with new champions being crowned, but instead, a strong bout was ended with a lacklustre finish, which was the overall feeling about the majority of the bouts at Clash of Champions.
