At Sunday night's Raw-exclusive WWE Extreme Rules event, Sheamus and Cesaro defeated The Hardy Boyz in a Steel Cage Match to become the brand new Raw Tag Team Champions. The match ended with a literal race to see who would reach the arena floor first, with Sheamus and Cesaro beating out The Hardy Boyz by going out over the top of the cage as The Hardyz were attempting to get out of the cage door.

The victory marks Sheamus and Cesaro's second reign as champions.
