A contest far too rushed to take advantage of the heady mix of wrestlers and Sports Entertainers within it, the Raw Vs SmackDown doubles elimination clash gave older fans flashbacks to the bonafide classics that took place between the heel and babyface squads on the first two editions of the show.

It didn't come anywhere close.

With less than 20 minutes offered up for the 20 men (or 21 if all three New Day members were added to the tally), a series of rushed falls took the fun out of the entire thing until a pretty joyous exchange between The Usos and The as-yet-unnamed Bar proffered an enjoyable end.

Sheamus and Cesaro's new union was just a month away from breaking the all-time longevity record with the Tag Team Championships set by Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E, with this pay-per-view victory at least foreshadowing their success.
