Then, they killed it in-ring.

New Day's last match as a trio (for now) was good stuff. They, Sheamus, Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura all played their roles to a tee and traded periods of domination throughout a bout that was packed full of spirit and rugged strikes.

The mini-reunion for Sheamus and Cesaro as The Bar was welcome, as was the general mayhem before the babyface finish. This is a six-man that's well-worth seeing despite the obvious exhibition feel, and it's just a pity that it didn't take place in front of a live crowd.

Fans would've gobbled up the heat-seeking of the heels and delighted in that New Day comeback. This sextet had time on their side to produce something better than anyone could've expected, and you should go and check it out ASAP if you haven't already.
