Though they were intent on defending the honor of their injured friend Big E, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods were denied the sweet satisfaction of payback in their clash with Sheamus & Ridge Holland.

Letting it be known that this match was for Big E, Kingston & Woods paid tribute to their New Day brother by wearing singlets styled after the one that The Powerhouse of Positivity wore when he captured the WWE Title last year.
The heartfelt gesture, however, was soon overcast by Sheamus & Holland’s pre-match sneak attack. The blitz proved to be a cunning, if underhanded tactic, though Kingston & Woods rebounded with several big hits, including a Trouble in Paradise to Holland that nearly ended the match moments after the opening bell.
As much damage as The Celtic Warrior and his tank of a protégé inflicted before the match began, the true turning point occurred when Butch distracted the referee, allowing Sheamus to sneak into the ring and pummel Woods with an illegal Brogue Kick. From there, Holland slammed Woods with Northern Grit to claim the statement victory.
