Jack Swagger and Mark Henry won the match, but both men would end up being in the Royal Rumble for less than a minute.

Darren Young formed an unusual tag team with Damien Sandow for this match, as his normal tag team partner, Titus O'Neil, was already qualified for the Royal Rumble.

The New Day retained the WWE Tag Team Championship against the Usos on the main show.
