A look at the RAW Tag Team Championship match from WrestleMania 33
In the only Tag Team Championship match of the night (sorry, Team Blue), Anderson & Gallows defended their belts in a Triple Threat Ladder match against Enzo & Cass, and Sheamus & Cesaro. When I wrote my preview for this match, my prediction was Enzo & Cass would finally win the gold, after exactly one year of great matches, and incredible promos where Enzo tells people that you can’t teach things. Here’s what transpired
Enzo showed up with in his Sunday best cheetah suit…

Just as the match was about to start, we got news from our WrestleMania hosts that this match will now be a Fatal Four Way Match. Just as it seemed that The New Day was about to enter the match themselves, we got a twist… of fate.

THE HARDY BOYZ!!!!!!!!!
The match started out on Nostalgia Avenue, with the Hardy Boys putting a whoopin’ on every team, using their old school agility, and of course, ladders.

As great as it is to see The Hardy Boyz (and believe me, this is great), Sheamus & Cesaro showed that they’re not impressed and made sure to put some offense in on the other teams
You can expect a LOT of innovative offense in this one! Take this example from @WWECesaro... #WrestleMania pic.twitter.com/7sKyEoDlw4

Eventually, Enzo & Cass got their shots in, with Cass trying to life Enzo towards the prize, but ultimately it wasn’t enough. What was enough, however, was the incredible ending that brought us back to the year 2000.
IT HAS HAPPENED! @MATTHARDYBRAND and @JEFFHARDYBRAND are your NEW #RAW #TagTeamChampions! #WrestleMania pic.twitter.com/Ar8xIsmtzL
