10 New Directions After WWE Crown Jewel 2022

10. The Usos Breaking New Day’s Record

This is a given, so let's start here.

WWE announced that The Usos will defend their Undisputed Tag belts against New Day boys Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods on next week's SmackDown. OK, so everybody could've done without that announcement right before they faced The Brawling Brutes (that killed the challengers), but it is what it is.

The feud is beyond tired, and yet this "one last match" does make sense because of the record story. New Day have always been immensely proud of their record-setting tag reign in interviews with the media, so there is a hook there for the coming episode on FOX. It makes sense to burn through this story.

There's no way Jimmy and Jey come out on the losing end though - they'll set a new record with the tag straps, and The Bloodline will rub that in everyone's faces until at least WrestleMania 39. After all, who the f*ck is better in the championship hot seat than The Usos right now?
