UPS…

5. A Fun Tag Match

The LWO might be defunct as a group, but that doesn’t mean that two of its former members can’t team up and have a rollicking tag match on Raw.

Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee took on the allies-of-convenience Rusev and Ethan Page on Raw in a tag match that followed a very simple – yet effective – formula. The fans achingly wanted to see the WWE Hall-of-Famer in the match, so the heels naturally kept Rey on the apron, except for when Dragon lunged for the tag. That’s when Page yanked Mysterio to the floor.

Rusev and Page worked well together, but eventually, the natural chemistry between Rey and Dragon overcame the villains, as they ran into each other a couple times, allowing Mysterio to hit a 619 and Drop the Dime on All Ego to pick up the win.

This was light, simple fare that strung together good action with a crowd-pleasing result. While not weighty, it was perfectly acceptable wrestling.
