Nitpick how they won the Raw Tag Team Titles all you want, but Bobby Roode & Chad Gable show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. The Glorious duo held firm on Christmas Eve against The Revival, handing the “Top Guys” the latest in a series of increasingly narrow losses.
If the match came down to anything, it was a battle of momentum vs. synchronicity. Dash Wilder & Scott Dawson competed as a hivemind, but their continued propensity to admire their own work left them vulnerable in key moments against the surging champions. The challengers eventually got their heads in the game and started breaking out some truly innovative combinations, so Roode countered with a desperate if effective maneuver, bulldozing Wilder out of the ring during an assisted suplex. With Wilder dispatched, Gable rolled up Dawson to earn the pinfall and thwart what was the latest in a string of impressive performances that has gotten the two-time NXT Tag Team Champions slowly, but surely, to the doorstop of their goal. They’ll have to settle for a knock for now, but one key development might provide them a path to another opportunity: In the confusion, it was determined upon replay that Dawson was not, in fact, the legal man.
