9 Things WWE Got Right At Battleground 2016

9. The Continued Degradation Of The Usos

On the WWE Battleground Kickoff show, Breezango pulled off something of an upset by defeating the 2015 Slammy Award winning Tag Team of the Year, The Usos. They also did so void of shenanigans with Tyler Breeze countering a Samoan Splash into a roll-up for a clean as a whistle 1-2-3.

The Usos are in dire need of a refresh, and unless they are going to be consigned to the jobber end of the stick in the near future the only way is to turn them heel. They were front and centre with Dean Ambrose on their shoulders at the end of the show, something that suggests they are still considering leading lights in the WWE tag team landscape, but doing so as babyfaces makes no sense.

The duo now find themselves on SmackDown Live, the show that arguably has the weaker tag division. What it does have however is the hottest tag team in the company in the shape of American Alpha. A heel turn for The Usos to build towards a big match against Gable and Jordan makes a whole heap of sense.

Losing to Breeze and Fandango as a result was absolutely the right decision. The name 'Breezango' has to go though. What is it with WWE and portmanteau tag names? Jeri-Show was fine, RybAxel was fun for a moment, but Breezango? Lazy.
