It was an impressively creative match that allowed for Belair, Lynch and Banks to get their moments in the spotlight, while offering occasional lighthearted moments, like when Lynch went for a double dropkick on Banks and Belair and got caught in midair.
After a brief, funny pause during which time Lynch bargained for her well-being, Belair and Banks double-slammed her into the corner. Despite brief moments of one-on-one action, this triple threat had well-planned and well-executed spots that often utilized all three women at the same time, which is impressive in its own right.
Belair had the first serious push toward a win with a KOD attempt, during which she swung Lynch's legs to attack Banks and knock her off the apron. Belair starred again with a stalled vertical suplex, and while she held Lynch up in the air, she stomped Banks on the ground.
Banks locked Lynch up in a Banks Statement, but Belair broke it up with a back handspring flip. Near falls, a pinfall and submission breakups abounded from there. Belair stood up with the weight of both women on her back to break it up. Belair finally connected on her signature KOD to Lynch, and Belair and Banks scrambled briefly to the outside to fight each other out of the ring.
Banks got back into the ring first, but Lynch rolled her up, and using the bottom rope for leverage, she secured the win and a successful title defense. It's an unsatisfying transaction, as we saw a year ago when The New Day and The Street Profits swapped their respective tag team titles. But unless something dramatic happens, it seems to be the likeliest solution. Belair, who is also Raw bound, seems to have unfinished business to resolve with Lynch.
Also incredibly predictable was the overall quality of the match. The pace of the match rarely slowed from bell to bell, and it was hard to separate the two men for the majority of the first half of the match. Big E had the first big swing with a Stretch Muffler submission attempt on McIntyre, and a scramble after McIntyre fought his way out led to Big E connecting on a Big Ending -- but it only got him a two count.
McIntyre fought his way back, and he connected on a top rope Bulldog. Big E ducked a Claymore attempt, but McIntyre's second kick connected flush. But that, too, was good only for a two count. McIntyre teased a Big Ending of his own, but Big E shook him off, displayed incredible strength spinning the gigantic McIntyre around his body, and set himself up for a second Big Ending, which earned him the pinfall victory.

As for Big E, a new challenger will have to step forth on Monday. It could very well be one of the new additions to the Raw roster.
The New Day has reached levels of success that few could have predicted, even at the height of their power as tag team champions. And after trying to speak his childhood dream into existence for years, Xavier Woods is now King of the Ring.
Woods defeated Finn Balor in the finals of the tournament at Crown Jewel, showing off skills as a singles wrestler that he hasn't had the opportunity to show very often in his WWE tenure, which had almost exclusively been spent as a tag team performer. The match itself was entertaining. To learn more or opt-out, read our Cookie Policy. However, the work of Lesnar to give Roman a reason to doubt Paul Heyman has been excellent. How he lets things play out during the match will be the real drama here.

He wanted to play defensive tackle in the National Football League.
Sure, he had elite NFL size, strength and speed for his position. That would have ranked first among defensive tackles at the NFL Combine. Shockingly, he earned playing time in a couple of preseason games and was a late cut with the Minnesota Vikings.
With his football stint over, Lesnar turned his attention to mixed martial arts. Lots of accomplished collegiate wrestlers do the same thing, so it was a natural progression in his athletic life.
Yet, his foray into the sport was anything but normal. It was an easy, first-round win over a grossly overmatched opponent. Let me repeat that.
