They talk about winning the tag titles at Money in the Bank and taking the belts all the way to Wrestlemania. The Usos interrupt and head to the ring. They begin to speak but are quickly interrupts by Breezango.

Both teams worked well together, though New Day and Breezango even had some double team maneuvers the performed together. This was a good final match before New Day&#8217;s title shot at the PPV, and it did well to keep interest in Breezango and maybe build some much-needed interest in The Colons. All around a very good match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nStyles warns Nakamura about Zayn&#8217;s tendency to get over-excited when Zayn walks up.

It touched on all the matches currently announced, and the matches on this show were all good. The WWE Title match still seems like the least important match considering the completely underwhelming buildup though.
