NEW ORLEANS — Jimmy & Jey Uso displayed the hearts of champions on The Grandest Stage of
Them All, as the high-flying brothers emerged
victorious in a frenetic Fatal 4-Way Elimination
battle to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships
on the WrestleMania 30 Pre-Show. Meanwhile, the
WWE Universe may have witnessed the dissolution of The Real Americans! With WWE fans watching around the world
exclusively on WWE Network, the Samoan
Superstars were up to the challenge posed by three
of WWE’s most exciting and dangerous duos in a
risky Elimination Match, which stipulates when a
competitor is pinned or submitted, both tag team members are eliminated, with the last team
standing winning WWE’s twin titles.
The Real Americans, Cesaro & Jack Swagger,
showed great teamwork, double-teaming Fernando
in the early stages. The masked Superstar,
however, countered with impressive springboard
moves, sending both Real Americans, The Usos
and Ryback over the ropes. Throwing caution to the wind, Los Matadores
launched themselves over the top rope and took
out all the Superstars at ringside. Axel stopped El
Torito from also going off the top rope, but Diego &
Fernando grabbed Mr. Perfect’s son, giving El
Torito clearance for take-off, sending all four of them crashing back onto the Superstars at ringside. After recovering, Swagger and Diego got back in
the ring, and Swagger sent Los Matadores packing
from the match with a brutal Patriot Lock
submission. Later on, Jey Uso hit Axel with a
series of kicks and a Samoan Drop, as the tags
and high-impact moves came fast and furious. When Jey countered a Swagger Bomb, Ryback
tagged in and hit Swagger with a Spinebuster and
Meathook clothesline. When he went for Shell
Shocked, however, Cesaro aided his Real
American teammate, hitting a European Uppercut
and The Neutralizer on “The Big Guy” for the pin.
It was down to The Usos vs. The Real Americans
for the WWE Tag Team Titles. After initial two-on-
two brawling, The Usos cleared the ring and then
went over the rope ropes, laying it all on the line as
chants of “THIS IS AWESOME!” rained down. A flurry of back-and-forth action – including a
backbreaker, Patriot Lock, European Uppercut and
Samoan Drop – left all four Superstars down. Back
in the ring, The Usos managed to toss Cesaro into
Swagger and stun him with a kick, followed by a
double top-rope Splash on The Swiss Superman for the hard-fought win and a shining WrestleMania
moment.
Meanwhile, despite a game effort and impressive
performance, it appears The Real Americans could
be headed for a split. After the bout, Swagger
yelled that Cesaro cost them the match, going so
far as attempting to put his teammate in the Patriot
Lock. As Zeb Colter played the peacemaker, Swagger
finally offered a handshake. Cesaro accepted, but
then knocked Swagger to the ground before taking
his fellow Real American for a dizzying ride with the
Cesaro Swing!
