I take it you don't watch SmackDown!, do you?
The match was not touted as being suited to Paul London & Brian Kendrick's style. Michael Cole and JBL made it seem like The Hardys' match. London & Kendrick were teasing a split, and it's good to see the WWE came to their senses, but it wouldn't have surprised anyone to see Regal & Taylor take the belts.
London & Kendrick were fighting guys that have been booked above them. The marks saw it that way, and as a smark, I found it refreshing to see London & Kendrick be given the chance to shine. It was probably the best case of the WWE elevating someone at all this year. Was it surprising to you, or Tovo to read that London & Kendrick retained? Probably not. But to marks it was. Was it surprising to see them take The Hardys, MNM, Regal & Talor on in a Ladder Match in the first place? Fuck yes. No one ever suspected London & Kendrick would be given that chance.
