Business was not booming on Monday night.
The New Day (Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston) defeated the Hurt Business (Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin) to win the RAW Tag Team Championship in a highly competitive match.

As two teams that have clashed several times in recent months, these competitors had each other perfectly scouted. Still, the challengers came quite close to pulling off the surprising victory at a few points. Still, the Hurt Business often controlled the bout by grounding Kingston.
Still, Woods rallied and gained momentum until the Hurt Business turned the tables by countering the challengers’ simultaneous dives to the outside. Still, the challengers rallied with a flurry of offense that showcased their unmatched chemistry. In the end, a Trouble in Paradise and a diving double stomp on Benjamin earned the New Day the win.
