The merry-go-round of SmackDown Tag Title changes between New Day and The Usos continued at Hell In A Cell. Yet again, both teams produced a classic. This was their best match yet. Yes, even better than the 'Sin City Street Fight' on SmackDown last month. Some combos just have chemistry, and this is one of them.

Now, WWE's creative team must pose themselves a question: do they move on from the feud before it inevitably becomes tired and less impactful, or do they proceed with another New Day title shot? The common way of doing things in WWE is to grant an automatic title rematch to beaten champions, but the next between these teams is likely to take place on TV rather than pay-per-view.

It's tough to see who else could step up and face The Usos (Breezango, perhaps?), so the only genuine sense of new direction here comes from the title change itself. Until WWE find a combination that works as well as New Day vs. Usos, they're going to stick with the rivalry.
