Isenberg Reacts: WWE Battleground “Deadman Rises, Owens Thrives”

By Josh Isenberg

 WWE Tag Team Championship Match

Young starts off with Kofi and Titus hits a shoulder block to take control. Kofi clubs him in the back, but gets a few hard slaps on his chest. Big E launches Darren over the ring post and takes a dirty spill. He throws him into a Kofi boot. Kofi kicks him and then locks in a headlock, continuing the assault. Young hits a kick on Big E to try and get to Titus. The big man comes in and cleans the ring. He catches Kofi and hits a few backbreakers and whips him across the ring. 

Woods finally gets dropped on the apron and Young hits an elbow. Kofi catches Darren with a spin kick and Big E gets in the ring. Young reverses him and Kofi gets hit with his finisher. Titus ducks a clothesline and hits Clash of the Titus for the win. 

I was surprised to see PTP keep the titles, but I am not against it. Titus is just a stud right now and is coming into his own. I would have switched the titles to keep The New Day in the fold. Two clean losses do not really do them much, but good for Young and O’Neil. They are the definition of a classic tag team, with a technical guy and a muscle man. The match could have gone 6-8 minutes longer and more dramatic, but a good match nonetheless.
