As WWE prepares for Night of Champions on Saturday, the big story coming out of Monday’s episode of Raw is that The Street Profits are new world tag team champions.
The Profits won their scheduled title match against Bron Breakker and Austin Theory of The Vision, and got assists from Joe Hendry and Seth Rollins to walk out of London as the new champions. Adding even more spice to the situation, Rollins got one over on Breakker before their steel cage match at Night of Champions.
CBS Sports was with you all night with recaps and highlights of all the action from The O2 in London.
The Street Profits beat The Vision to win the world tag team titles
World Tag Team Championship — The Street Profits def. The Vision (c) via pinfall to win the titles. After some back-and-forth action, Logan Paul interfered to help Austin Theory avoid being pinned after a super blockbuster, leading to the referee kicking Paul from ringside. Paul would eventually sneak back to ringside to hand Theory a pair of brass knuckles, but Joe Hendry appeared to chase Paul off. Before Theory could use the knuckles, Seth Rollins’ music hit and Rollins snuck in from behind as Bron Breakker patrolled the entrance ramp. Rollins took the knuckles from Theory and used them to knock Theory out. Breaker abandoned Theory in the ring to chase after Rollins, allowing Montez Ford to hit a frog splash to win the titles.
This was a very good match, which is not surprising given the men involved and the fact that tag team wrestling is the best kind of wrestling. It’s also a good idea to pay off several different angles to close the show, with Hendry returning for the first time since being laid out by The Vision and Rollins getting another one over on Breakker — and paying back the Profits for their recent help — ahead of their cage match on Saturday.

He then wondered which title he should challenge for after he wins King of the Ring. This brought Jey Uso to the ring, with Jey saying he’s used to being overlooked and counted out, but he still won the Royal Rumble and the world heavyweight championship when people didn’t believe in him. Femi said that Jey better land his shot, because whether he hits or not, Femi will still destroy him because Jey isn’t the family member he is worried about.Women’s Tag Team Championship — Paige & Brie Bella (c) def.
