Tag team wrestling has been born again at WWE SummerSlam.
Following a show-stealing match during the kickoff show between the New Day and the Usos, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Cesaro, and Sheamus saw their bet and raised them a tag team championship.

The former Shield teammates went into battle together against the reigning tag team champions, The Bar, and came out on top after a tremendous tag team bout that might remind fans of the glory days of tag team wrestling in the WWE. There were far too many highlights to tally, but one of the most memorable parts of the match came outside of the wrestling ring itself.
The fans in Brooklyn were tossing around a beach ball, and a frustrated Cesaro jumped the ring barricade, ran through the crowd to the ball, and ripped it into pieces. See it for yourself.

Seth and Dean pulled out some great work from their Shield days, and Cesaro and Sheamus kept up with them at each and every turn.

Rollins and Ambrose both had their typical crazy leaps to the outside, including a dual suicide dive through the ropes at one point. And then there was this one from “The Lunatic.”

The finish came in a flurry. Cesaro and Sheaus were setting up their finish when Rollins leapt to the top rope and nailed a huricanrana on Cesaro, sending him into Sheamus and Ambrose, taking everyone out. Rollins then superkicked both men and hit his flying knee on Sheamus. Ambrose then hit the Dirty Deeds on Cesaro and covered for the pinfall.
WHAT A SEQUENCE leading to @TheDeanAmbrose & @WWERollins becoming the NEW #RAW #TagTeamChampions! #SummerSlam pic.twitter.com/CjHhE68iAW
