COLUMBUS, Ohio – The WWE Tag Team Titles are moving into prime time. Darren Young & Titus O’Neil captured their first WWE Tag Team Championship at WWE Money in the Bank, overcoming Big E & Xavier Woods’ “power of positivity” in an emotionally charged tag team battle.
The New Day were one Superstar short of their typical trio after Kofi Kingston was left battered from the brutal Money in the Bank Contract Ladder Match earlier in the evening. However, this didn’t stop Big E & Woods from voicing their trademark positivity before the WWE Tag Team Title Match and championing the WWE Universe to clap for their embattled comrade.

The positive pairing of Big E & Woods didn’t seem to miss their third New Day member in the early goings of this bout, starting off the contest in dominating fashion. The athletic team combined their strength and speed to wear down “Mr. No Days Off,” making sure to consistently keep the WWE Universe at Nationwide Arena abreast of their performance.
An opportunity finally opened up for The Prime Time Players after Big E missed a spear on Young in the corner, allowing the embattled Superstar to tag in the Real Deal, who proceeded to power his way through both members of The New Day.

Big E recovered from O’Neil’s attack in time to break up a near fall on Woods, before spearing Young through the ropes and onto the floor. Back inside the squared circle, O’Neil kicked out of a pin attempt from Woods, before catching the talkative Superstar with the Clash of Titus for the pinfall victory.
Now that The Prime Time Players stand tall atop WWE’s tag team division, what’s next for this “million dolla” duo?
