What else can you say about Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn? Despite being singles wrestlers for much of their WWE runs, they’ve clearly mastered the art of wowing audiences with their tag team prowess.

The duo successfully defended their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship against the Judgment Day’s Damian Priest & Dominik Mysterio in a blistering match that saw a flurry of finishers at the end, resulting in Dirty Dom taking the pinfall loss after a Helluva Kick.

The champs were helped out by Seth Rollins brawling with Finn Balor before the match, taking the Prince out of the picture, and then Liv Morgan attacking Rhea Ripley, neutralizing the Eradicator.

It would be nice if the undisputed tag champs had a really strong program heading into SummerSlam, but we’ll take the good here this week and save the criticism for later.
