For the second time, The New Day are the WWE Tag Team Champions, pinning Los Matadores to win a fatal four-way match that also included defending champions the Prime Time Players, as well as the Lucha Dragons.
SummerSlam 2015 results: The New Day are Tag Team Champions again
All is right with the world.
The New Day lost their tag titles at Money in the Bank, falling pretty quickly to the Prime Time Players. Since then, Darren Young and Titus O’Neil have looked like strong champions, but they’ve been in the unfortunate position of having the entire tag division gun for them. Lucha Dragons and Los Matadores have never been champions and haven’t exactly made a habit of beating the two recent champs regularly, but they’re both fun, so we’re certainly not complaining about their presence.
Because this was a fatal four-way match, there was no disqualification. It was also not an elimination match, with the first pin or submission earning the win. And, apparently, two men from the same team were allowed to be in the match at the same time and pin each other to become champions. New Day tried this early and the ref didn’t stop them, though Titus managed to break up the cover.
As is standard for these kinds of matches, it descended into chaos and featured some crazy spots. Big E had the best ones, including a splash on the apron and a suicide dive spear through the ropes, both on Darren Young. Also, Sin Cara did what he’s famous for doing and missed people a lot.
New Day pulled off the win after Diego of Los Matadores, plus both the Lucha Dragons, got thrown off the top rope by Titus in a double powerbomb/suplex combo. But Kofi Kingston managed to tag himself in and score the pin on Diego, giving New Day the titles again.
