The match between the two teams at Day 1 was confirmed after WWE continued to build on the heated feud between Ridge Holland and Sheamus against Cesaro and Ricochet. The four men have been going at it for weeks on SmackDown.
During the recent Christmas Gauntlet to determine the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship, Ricochet was distracted by Holland, while the former was busy with Sheamus.
Eventually, Cesaro made his way down to the ring as Ricochet got a surprise pin over The Celtic Warrior for the win. However, Ricochet was later eliminated by Sami Zayn, who was the eventual winner of the Christmas Gauntlet.
Since moving up to the main roster, Ridge Holland has mostly feuded with Cesaro. Holland has labeled Sheamus, a former tag team partner of Cesaro, as his idol since arriving on SmackDown.
