Result: Cesaro rolls Jeff Hardy up to retain the titles 4-3 (30:00).

Rating: Things got off to an interesting start with the champs' early fall putting the Hardyz on the back foot, and it was surprising that they followed up with a second fall just 10 minutes in.

This as a clear setup for an underdog return spot, which of course suits the Hardyz like a glove, with a countout loss eventually leaving them at 1-3 with 12 minutes to go.

The final few minutes were laid out extremely well, milking the tension as the Hardyz evened the score and it really felt like it could've gone either way.

The finish was a little anti-climactic, but the two teams carried the 30 minutes extremely well with a rock solid showcase, even if you can argue it was a bit excessive for the program they're in. That the Hardyz are still conditioned to go this long is nothing if not impressive, though.

This was the easy Match of the Night and nothing really got close to touching it. 7/10
