Whilst the crowd seems to be losing interest in the comedic aspect of the story, the dream run of Heath Slater following the brand split continued with a clean as clean win over Jimmy & Jey Uso. Again, many expected a title change here, but keeping the titles on Slater & Rhyno for the time being represents good continuity and an increase in the credibility of the championships.

The match itself was fine, the Usos showing that this heel turn is far and away the best thing to happen to them in years. Slater was absolutely fantastic off the hot tag too, Rhyno working the heat stretch a nice change of pace from their matches to date. Still, the Man Beast was the one picking up the victory after delivering separate Gores to both Usos.

This is all just holding off until American Alpha get the belts though, right?
