#2 - "Tag Team Match" - The New Day vs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn (WWE Stomping Grounds)
On paper, this match seemed as though it was going to be your standard tag match. Not a lot of flash and flair. This would have been a generic tag team match to keep the crowd halfway interested, but not all too excited either. However, what we got was the exact opposite of anything we would've anticipated to see.
This match brought a lot of fire, intensity and excitement all around between both teams. The storyline was very weak and just slapped together, to be honest with you guys, leading into Stomping Grounds. Therefore, both sides had something to prove and boy, did they deliver!
The heels took control of the match. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens worked over Xavier Woods. The man was on the receiving end of approximately four Super Kicks, then took a huge Blue Thunder Bomb by Sami Zayn followed up by a big Frog Splash by Owens. These moves would have been put anyone down, but Xavier didn't give up and kept pushing himself beyond his limits.
The hot tag to Big E. paid off in a huge way, no pun intended, as Big E. came in like a house of fire and destroyed Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. However, things took a turn when Big E. speared Zayn through the ropes, as both men crashed and burned to the arena floor in a thunderous, sickening impact.
In the end, we saw Kevin Owens take down Xavier Woods with his version of the Stunner to score the well-deserved pinfall and the victory. What a match! They delivered the goods and deserved a big round of applause from the WWE Universe all around the world.
