The Street Profits had their title defense against Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. The former duo has been the tag team champions for most of the year.
Dolph and Montez Ford started things off in the ring. Ford tried to finish things off early as he went for a frog splash early in the match but failed as Roode pushed him from the apron. Ford went crashing into the barricade from the top rope.

Back from the commercial, we saw Ziggler still dominating Ford, and Roode tagged in. Roode and Ziggler came in and kept attacking Ford’s problematic ribs.
Ziggler kept taunting Ford and asked him to reach to Angelo Dawkins. After throwing Roode into the turnbuckle, Ford managed to tag in Dawkins. The latter dominated both Ziggler and Roode for a while and hit a neck breaker for a near fall.

The frustration of Ziggler and Roode is increasing day by day. They keep getting multiple chances at the tag titles but fail to capitalise. On the other hand, The Street Profits might end this year as the tag team champions. However, Montez Ford might have an injury due to his damaged ribs. If he does not take care, it might be a little troubling for the team in the future.
