WWE Raw December 5th: Analysing and grading each segment

Sheamus and Cesaro vs. Gallows and Anderson (Winner Faces New Day on Raw Next Week):

Sheamus and Cesaro were very entertaining once again

Grade: 6.5/10

This felt like a way of WWE wasting time until New Day break the record for longest-reigning tag team champions, but the action was still solid here. Sheamus and Cesaro being on the same page was a great sight to see, and the Irishman got a big pop from the crowd after a hot tag, showing that the Sheamus/Cesaro storyline has been a success until this point.

Standing tall at the end of the no contest finish, Sheamus and Cesaro, have become one of this writer’s favourite parts of Raw. However, the finish to this match was weak. The New Day continue to act incredibly heelish on their road to breaking Demolition’s record, and whether that is leading to a heel turn is yet to be seen, but for now, it is a lacklustre way to end matches.

A triple threat tag team title match will most likely take place now, and although that will be a strong matchup for next week’s show, it could’ve been achieved in a stronger way than the finish we got. Overall, it was still a fun segment that saw Sheamus and Cesaro flourish, although the New Day are treading water until they break Demolition’s record, and it is affecting matches.
