10 Best Wrestling Tag Teams Of 2018
9. The Usos
An up and down year for The Usos saw Jimmy and Jey carry over their incandescent 2017 form into a prosperous relaunched series with The New Day before SmackDown Live's concentration on The Bludgeon Brothers left them low on purpose.
Their criminally overdue WrestleMania debut should have been a celebration of their extreme sacrifices and exceptional exploits, but was instead an effort alongside The New Day to heave Harper and Rowan up to the level the quartet had been working at for a year. It failed in its stated aim, and the pair were AWOL on the blue brand for much of summer whilst the hammer-wielding heavies struggled to recapture the magic.
Redeployed in the autumn alongside perennial frenemies The New Day, the brothers returned to the mix and winning ways around Survivor Series time. Though broadly meaningless, their wins served as a reintroduction to relevance for the pair ahead of a blockbuster triple threat with blue brand belt-holders The Bar.
Jimmy and Jey will presumably hope 2019 will be more prosperous than 2018, but - in contrast to their breakout and over-worked 2017 - can credit themselves for doing a great deal more with the very little they were given to do.
