10 WWE Money In The Bank 2021 Impulse Reactions

10. Rey Mysterio & Dominik Mysterio (c) Vs. The Usos

In a company where wins and losses matter, The Usos would have earned this tag team title shot by virtue of their pinfall victory over the Champions on the go-home edition of SmackDown.

In WWE, this contest was already announced before the titleholders fell to the challengers in WWE's first full crowd match in 17 months in order to cast doubt for another match just days later. And on a Kickoff show, no less. Has 'The Tribal Chief' failed to elevate his cousins after all?

In kayfabe, perhaps. But reality was as kind to the quartet as the audience were.

The four had one of the evening's more enviable spots, and made the most of it with a micro-banger that tore at the emotions of a rapt live crowd all the way through to a final third with some gripping near falls.

Dominik took a brutal beating until his Dad saved the day. Jimmy took a bullet for his brother, but Jey couldn't get finish Rey until his sibling was back in with the assist. Nothing over-complicated, and all the better for it, even if that cheap roll-up on Friday seems even more senseless now.

But this bordered on elegant, bless them, and it was a good match to boot! As sure as the sun rises and sets, The Usos never miss on the show before the show.
