6 Ups And 7 Downs For WWE Fastlane

By Scott Carlson /

2. New Tag Champs

A matter of months ago, Tyson Kidd was banished to NXT, serving a sentence in wrestling purgatory, while Cesaro was in WWE€™s doghouse for daring to say that he felt like Cena/Orton Part 5,000 was boring. Sunday night, the two were the new WWE Tag Team Champions after a really competitive match against the Usos. The match itself didn€™t get the chance to really develop into something special €“ perhaps a 2/3 falls rematch at WrestleMania would do the trick? €“ but it was good enough to show that Kidd and Cesaro have been working hard behind the scenes to gel as a team. Their deadlift superplex/springboard elbow combo was a thing of beauty. While the Usos still are the best tag team in WWE, they€™ve established themselves during the past year and don€™t really need titles to prove it. Having another up-and-coming team hold the titles only helps the tag division. It would be optimistic to hope that this signals some value and attention being placed on tag teams, but we€™ve been down this road before. Perhaps it€™s best to just be happy that Kidd and Cesaro got some gold for now.
