Sure, we've got two wrestlers in a single spot here, but separating Jimmy and Jey Uso makes no sense. There's no real way of choosing between them as tag workers par excellence, and both deserve their seat at the top table, having stood out as two of WWE's strongest performers for the best part of a year now.

Much of The Usos' success stems from their late-2016 heel turn. This move transformed them from generic, vanilla babyfaces to a set of ruthless thugs, and the duo deserve immense credit for adapting every aspect of their characters, from the manic promo delivery to their increasingly violent working style. It has led to countless great matches and feuds, but more importantly, a reason for the fans to get invested in them again.

Jimmy and Jey are now at a level where they deserve to be mentioned among the greatest WWE tag teams of all time, having secured their place through an excellent feud with The New Day. Though far from their careers' only highlight, this storyline was unquestionably their best work, and the cherry on top of what has been a deceptively long, productive run.
