#3. Made the SmackDown Tag Team match emotional

Xavier Woods was forced to tap out after an emotional battle

WWE did a magnificent job for weeks before the event by pairing The Revival with ‘The Viper’ Randy Orton. The trio managed to dish out a lot of punishment to all three members of The New Day and took out Xavier Woods and Big E for good which left Kofi Kingston exposed for weeks.

The best thing the company did with this match was bring back the story which they’d told weeks ago. They used Xavier Woods’ injury, which he sustained at the hands of the heelish trio to full effect.

The match turned from fast-paced to emotional in no time as The Revival managed to replicate the intensity which is usually shown by the villainous Randy Orton, and the duo isolated and worked on Woods’ injury to full effect to win the title.

Dawson trapping Woods in a submission, rather than delivering the good old Shatter Machine, and making the babyface tap out, was the cherry on top of the cake. Now the heelish duo begin their SmackDown Tag Team Championship reign.
