1. That Tag-Team Main Event

Right, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre challenging for the Undisputed Tag-Team Titles after Survivor Series is a must after Friday's main event. This was just a top notch tag match with bags of story context - it had a little bit of everything, and it'd be neat to see what the quartet can achieve without so much outside interference.

It'd probs be a match of the year candidate, actually.

Yes, it's a bit out there that the babyfaces now hold the numbers advantage heading into WarGames, but WWE can side-step that plot point with another. There's enough going on between Sami Zayn, Jey Uso and The Bloodline's in-fighting to keep things moving. Plus, the finish here was so well done that it's hard to hate it.

Fans were thrilled when Sheamus planted a Brogue Kick for the win, and they loved that Kevin Owens was also involved in giving the goodies some momentum. This might be lost in the mix too, but...Roman Reigns wasn't there and his crew fell to pieces. Coincidence? Hardly.
