12-time champions send a message to the Judgment Day with an emphatic win on WWE RAW
The New Day duo of Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston defeated Alpha Academy during the latest episode of WWE RAW.
The two groups were involved in a backstage confrontation last week. Each of them felt that they were the superior team. Hence, a tag team bout was made official for this week's show.
In the opening match of the night, both teams wanted to prove that they were worthy of challenging for the tag team championships. Woods and Chad Gable started the bout as they displayed their impressive amateur wrestling moves.
At one point, Otis managed to hit the Caterpillar on Kingston. But the 12-time WWE tag champion was able to rally with some superkicks. Kingston executed the Trouble in Paradise on Otis before wiping out Gable with a dive outside.
Woods managed to take advantage of the situation as he secured an important win over Alpha Academy after hitting the flying elbow drop on Otis.
It will be interesting to see if The New Day challenges the Judgment Day duo of Finn Balor and Damian Priest for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships anytime soon.
