New Tag Team Champions Crowned On WWE Raw
The Street Profits win big over Murphy and Seth Rollins.
The Street Profits are your new WWE Raw Tag Team Champions, having taken the belts from Seth Rollins and Murphy on last night's show.
A fun, snappy bout with tremendous pacing came close to unravelling as AOP hit the ring as the heels dumped Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins to the outside. Akam and Rezar were foiled soon after and Kevin Owens appeared in the ensuing confusion, sneaking behind the referee to nail Seth with a Stunner and allow Ford to hit his Frog Splash, then score the 1-2-3.
Rollins cut an angry backstage promo afterwards, demanding a rematch at Elimination Chamber.
Last night's bout was a rematch itself. Rollins and Murphy defeated The Street Profits at Super ShowDown 2020, but through underhand means, as Rollins' Blackout on the outside allowed Murphy, the legal man, to score an undeserved pin. Here, Dawkins and Ford gained a measure of revenge.
Rollins and Murphy were Raw Tag Team Champions for 42 days. This period encompassed successful defences over Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe (Raw - 27 January) and the new champs, though there's every chance they could regain the gold at this Sunday's pay-per-view.
