You’ve got to take your hat off to the four teams who closed out Raw Monday night.

Alpha Academy battled RK-Bro to try to get back into title contention, but they fell short after a spirited match. Afterwards, the Usos invaded Raw and confronted RK-Bro. They followed Roman Reigns’ direction and tried to set up a title unification match. This brought out the Street Profits, who wanted to be the ones to hold the Raw tag titles for said unification with the SmackDown tag titles.

This gave way to a Profits/Usos main event that tore the house down. The Profits hung in there, but the Usos were too much, putting Montez Ford away with a 3D. Just tremendous action for the last 40 minutes of the show.

The closing shot on Raw was the Usos holding both sets of tag titles, which could foreshadow what’s to come at WrestleMania Backlash.
