10 Wrestlers Who Have Suffered The Most Since WrestleMania 34

7. The Usos

Unhappy Ronda Rousey

The picture above was once simply ugly. It is now criminally ironic.

The Usos entered New Orleans having broken a career-long hex. So excellent and undeniable was their form that a relegation to the Kickoff was unthinkable. They had earned a match on the Grandest Stage through their programme with the New Day alone, a programme magnificent in how the matches were as inventive as they were repeated. This was their time.

Their slot, however, was death; forced to follow the greatest debut match in wrestling history, the same audience who clamoured for the match were too physically spent to appreciate it. It wasn't important, memorable, nor even particularly good on rewatch. Jimmy and Jey's big belated moment manifested as a showcase for the Bludgeon Brothers, a tandem who also have become anonymous in this dismal post-WrestleMania season. They are scheduled to compete at the next pay-per-view, at least; The Usos, having been removed from the title picture, may as well have been removed from existence altogether.

20-something Creative Writers, and just the one story. This is a company that has eaten itself and still conspires to sh*t out cash.
