8 New SmackDown Match-Ups Created By WWE's Superstar Shakeup

2. The Usos Vs. New Day

Speaking of SmackDown's tag division, it could receive a sizeable boost thanks to the inclusion of the New Day (who will be sadly missing Kofi Kingston for a while as he recovers from surgery). If WWE decide to slingshot the team straight into a title feud, they'll find themselves facing off with The Usos - who would surely be looked upon in a more favourable light right now had SmackDown focused more upon its tag teams.

They've taken to their heel roles with aplomb, and are far more compelling than their previous turn as bland, Roman Reigns-affiliated babyfaces.

An Usos/New Day feud should be looked upon with cautious optimism. It doesn't really depend so much upon the performances of the guys in the ring, who can be relied upon to deliver the goods - but instead the booking of the storyline going forward.
