Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship Changes Hands At Payback
Could the red and blue tag straps be turned purple come Monday?
The Judgment Day are your new Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, defeating best friends Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn in a wild, chaotic street fight at Payback Saturday night.
Finn Balor & Damian Priest technically are your new champs, but they entire stable got involved to tip the scales, with Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley sacrificing themselves for the greater good, and even Balor ally JD McDonagh making a save at one point.
Zayn and Owens fought valiantly, but 5-on-2 was too much to overcome. That didn't stop them from battering everyone with chairs and trash cans and putting the Judgment Day through multiple tables. In the end, it was Mysterio breaking up a pinfall and nailing Sami with the Money in the Bank briefcase that proved to be the difference-maker.

KO and Sami won the tag titles five months ago at WrestleMania 39, defeating the Usos in the main event of Night 1 in a brilliant match that ended the brothers' record-setting tag title reign at 622 days.
The Judgment Day now boasts an impressive jewelry collection, with Ripley holding the WWE Women's World Championship, Dominik with the NXT North American Championship, Finn and Damian with the tag titles, and Priest also holding the MITB briefcase.
