Sheamus and Cesaro capitalised on the arrival of some unwanted guests to claim the WWE Raw Tag Team titles from Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose in the main event on Monday night's Raw.

Granted a final opportunity against the champions by Raw general manager Kurt Angle, Sheamus and Cesaro looked on the brink of another defeat when The New Day arrived, claiming they were leading another SmackDown Live invasion of Raw.

Backstage, Angle called a 'code blue', rallying his troops to ringside. But as they chased off The New Day, Sheamus capitalised on the chaos to floor Rollins with a Brogue Kick and snatch the gold.

Earlier in the evening, Angle announced the final three members of Team Raw for the five-man elimination match against Team SmackDown Live at Survivor Series on Sunday, November 19 live on Sky Sports Box Office.

The Olympic gold medallist recruited Finn Balor and Samoa Joe despite the pair needing to be separated by officials following a ferocious bout. Then, claiming he needed someone he could truly trust, Kurt made the surprise decision to draft in his son Jason Jordan.
