Hard to avoid the cloud hanging over this one.

Sheamus and Ridge Holland will have the recently renamed Butch in their corner for this middling tag match thanks to the absence of Big E, who remains out indefinitely thanks to a neck injury sustained in the build.

A devastating situation could have been even worse, but that'll be small mercy for the five out there on the night. Not least because it - along with a chronic production snafu on the SmackDown that set it up - dampened the enthusiasm for Xavier Woods' official return just eight days out from the 'Show Of Shows'.

The feud doesn't feel hot, the audience is still mostly mocking the "Butch" moniker, and arguably the most beloved figure from both sides is convalescing at home. It's all less than ideal, so WWE should at very least let the good guys win in celebration of their benched best friend.

Winners - The New Day
