Returns for The Hurt Business are looking even more golden, as Shelton Benjamin & Cedric Alexander took down The New Day to become the new Raw Tag Team Champions at WWE TLC.

The New Day came out of the gate with a break-neck pace, overwhelming Alexander, though Benjamin’s entrance changed the bout’s dynamic as he used his strength advantage to ground Woods with MVP barking orders at ringside.

Woods found a way to tag in Kingston, who lit up the WWE ThunderDome at Tropicana Field with his high-octane arsenal until Benjamin caught a potential Boom Drop, though Kingston avoided a double-team attack with Alexander coming off the top rope.

Kingston hit the SOS for a near-fall, but Alexander dodged Trouble in Paradise moments later. Woods broke up Alexander’s pinfall attempt after Alexander had hit a big jumping knee and brainbuster, but Woods was soon taken out by a Neutralizer from Alexander and Paydirt by Benjamin.

While Kingston fought valiantly, Benjamin left him shaken with a massive underhook superplex. Benjamin was perplexed by Alexander blindly tagging himself in, but it paid off, as he hit the Lumbar Check for the title-clinching victory.
