3. A Convincing Victory

It appeared like the mini-rivalry between Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro & Sheamus and Titus Worldwide ended at the Elimination Chamber PPV on Sunday night, but then we got a rematch on Raw.

And not just any rematch, this was a two-out-of-three falls title match, like the good old days. And to really blow off this feud, The Bar defeated Titus O’Neil and Apollo in two straight falls. Cesaro used a similar tactic to what he did in the Iron Man match against the Hardy Boyz last year, running interference at the bell to allow Sheamus to Brogue Kick Titus for the first fall.

The interesting part was afterward, when Cesaro & Sheamus ran down their previous opponents during the past year, pointing out that they’ve defeated every team put in front of them, and there’s no clear opponent left. And seriously, who is there? The Club? The Revival?

Could this be foreshadowing another big-name tag team debuting or returning at WrestleMania? Or maybe a team from NXT being called up to challenge them? This could actually be interesting.
