Don’t look now, but something meaningful happened on Tribute to the Troops!
And it sets up a match we’ve seen many times in the past. But at Roadblock, there’ll be a different feel. Because now that The New Day has set the record for longest tag title reign in WWE history, many feel their championship run is likely to end at any moment.
Will that moment be Sunday, Dec. 18 in Pittsburgh?
Cesaro & Sheamus hope so, after they defeated The Golden Truth, The Shining Stars and Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows (those poor bastards) to earn their latest title shot on this weekend’s pay-per-view (PPV).

- Sami Zayn vs. Braun Strowman (ten minute time limit)
