Winners: The Usos and Heavy Machinery

This was a decent, if overlong, tag team match. Thankfully, the automatic rematch clause appears truly dead as The Bar failed to secure another title shot for Elimination Chamber. The Usos won the match, becoming the #1 contenders to The Miz and Shane McMahon's newly-won tag team titles, which finally puts them back on pay per view.

Fans drowned out a popular wrestler with 'She's a racist' chants recently

Heavy Machinery might have walked away as the biggest winners of this match, though. Their act got decently over with the audience last night, and they secured a clean pinfall victory on the New Day, elevating them into the upper echelon of the division immediately, should WWE decide to follow up on it.

It was a nice way to show off the recent NXT callups without pushing them to the moon too quickly. Heavy Machinery might be one of those acts that does better on the main roster than at Full Sail.
