WWE Clash Of Champions 2016: 10 Awesome Moments

10. Gallows & Anderson Nearly Win The WWE Tag-Team Titles Instantly

The WWE Tag-Team Title bout was a clever choice to open Clash Of Champions. In the Kickoff pre-show, Nia Jax had beaten Alicia Fox, but fans were delighted to hear Big E's usual introduction for The New Day after all the pyro had died down. There's no doubt about it, New Day are every bit as popular now as they have been for well over a full year.

Straight away, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson went on the offensive. The bell was almost still ringing through the arena when Anderson hit a silky smooth Running Powerbomb on Kofi Kingston. What followed was a remarkably quick near fall, but one of the most exciting of the entire pay-per-view.

This hot opening really set the tone for the rest of the match, and kept the threat lingering that The Club just might take the tag gold from The New Day. They didn't, of course, but the Powerbomb and subsequent pin upped the excitement and captured fan attention immediately.

Something like this was definitely needed, because the build up to Gallows and Anderson challenging for the titles had been tepid at best.
