Tag Team Championships Match
(C) The Hardy Boyz Vs. Sheamus & Cesaro
The match begins with Matt and Cesaro. They lock-up and Matt quickly becomes apprehensive about a battle of strength with Cesaro. Matt gets a wrist-lock on Cesaro and tags Jeff, who jumps off of the middle rope with an axe handle to the elbow.
Jeff and Matt team for Poetry in Motion before Matt is tagged in again. Cesaro takes control of Matt and exchanges tags with Sheamus. The Celtic Warrior and the Swiss Superman double-team Matt for several minutes until he reverses Sheamus and tags Jeff. Hardy takes the fight to Sheamus, hitting him with a dropkick, then the double leg drop to the groin. Sheamus manages to fling Jeff from the ring with one hand and tags Cesaro.
Cesaro lands a gutwrench suplex on Jeff for a near-fall. Sheamus tags back in and lands a knee drop from the middle rope to Jeff for another two count. Sheamus applies a headlock and Jeff quickly drops him with a jawbreaker. Jeff looks to tag Matt but Sheamus kicks him in the face for a near-fall.

Cesaro tags in and hits a leg drop to Jeff, who appears to have literally lost a tooth from that kick from Sheamus. Again the European duo go to work on Jeff grounding him in the middle of the ring. They attempt to double-team Jeff but he elbows them both out of the corner and hits a Whisper in the Wind to create some space. Jeff looks to tag Matt but Cesaro grabs his foot, only for Jeff to hit a reverse Enziguiri and tag Matt!
Matt storms the ring, clubbing Cesaro with forearms, then headbutt’s. Matt then bands Cesaro’s head off-of the turnbuckle a dozen times before hitting a running bulldog for a near-fall. Matt then hits a elbow from the middle rope to Cesaro’s neckm then follows-up with a Side Effect. Sheamus breaks the pin attempt, then Jeff throws him from the ring and leaps off of the apron onto him.
Matt takes to the top rope and looks for a moonsault but Cesaro rolls out of the way. Cesaro hits the ropes and springboards for a European uppercut. Cesaro grabs Matt and performs the Cesaro Swing for a full 20 rotations before applying the sharpshooter. Matt’s head is bleeding as Jeff helps him reach the bottom rope. Sheamus blasts Jeff into the barricade, while Matt takes to the top rope. Cesaro clobbers Matt with another uppercut, then tags Sheammus, who hits White Noise from the top rope but Jeff breaks the pin!

Jeff jumps off of the apron but Cesaro catches him and looks for a slam but Jeff slides down his back and shoves him over the barricade. Inside the ring, Matt looks for a Twist of Fate but Sheamus pushes him into the ropes tagging Jeff in the process. Sheamus catches Matt with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and pins him but Jeff is legal, and hits Sheamus on the back with a Swanton Bomb for the 1-2-3!
Winners: The Hardy Boyz
After the match, Sheamus, Cesaro, Matt and Jeff celebrate and shake hands. Matt and Jeff hold their titles high as Sheamus and Cesaro leave the ring. Suddenly the European’s storm the ring and attack the Boyz! Cesaro yanks Jeff arm-first into the ring post several times before Sheamus hits a Brogue Kick to his back. They take Matt inside the ring and Sheamus hits him with a Brogue Kick before standing with the tag titles.
Things just got REAL personal as frustration boils over for @WWECesaro and @WWESheamus! #WWEPayback pic.twitter.com/BoVUz3v24b
