The New Day is one of the most decorated tag teams in wrestling history. Jeff Hardy is one of the most accomplished wrestlers in WWE. And Riddle is a competitor with a legit background.

But as a four-man unit, they have no experience, so it made perfect sense for the Hurt Business to pull off the win in their eight-man tag match Monday night. The match had some nice moments, with the return of the Unicorn Stampede, Xavier Woods’ tribute to Luke Harper, and a manic breakdown section that was frenzied but fun to watch.

In the end, it was Bobby Lashley once again tapping Jeff Hardy out, which you might think would be leading somewhere, but if nothing else, it just gives Riddle something to avenge if he’s actually getting a United States Championship shot.
