Fast-paced action, cool spots and near falls propelled this to be one of the better Raw main events of 2016. The possibility of New Day losing the titles so close to breaking the record, had fans on the edge of their seats, and the unpredictability of the triple threat stipulation brought fans on a rollercoaster of action.
Not only was the match splendid, but the subplots within the bout were great storytelling. Jericho and Owens’ tensions were evident once again, with the two almost coming to blows due to an accidental pinfall breakup by Owens, when he landed on Jericho. Their implosion is extremely close, and it will be amazing when it eventually occurs.
Secondly, the New Day once again sneaked away with the win, as Xavier Woods pinned Jericho who had just been hit by a Pedigree from Rollins. This only increases fan anticipation for who will eventually topple the trio for the titles, as they continually sneak away with the gold.
Reigns standing tall was necessary to keep his feud with Owens centre stage, although the US title has been irrelevant with Reigns as Champion. He should either move out of the main event scene after Roadblock or drop the U.S. Championship.
Still, overall, a spectacular main event that had fans on the edge of their seats, with New Day sneaking away with the victory. Congratulations to the trio for becoming the longest reigning tag team champions in WWE history.
