Result: Anderson rolls up Cesaro to win the titles (10:29)

Rating: The two-refs gimmick here was occasionally hilarious (especially when Sheamus accidentally destroyed one of them with a Brogue Kick) but mostly just gimmicky and pretty pointless, especially considering the match ended with a dirty finish regardless. What, three refs next time?

It's a shame the guys who ended The New Day's record-breaking streak then went on to lose them so fast, but on the flip-side it's great to see something maybe-worthwhile finally happening with Anderson and Gallows.

Why this wasn't a PPV match on a four-hour event, though, is nothing short of mind-boggling, as it was a solid battle undermined by some weird booking logic. Cesaro in particular was on fire here, as usual. 6/10
