It takes an awful lot of credibility in the bank to remain relevant in WWE once writers stop paying attention - or worse, start, by trying to flesh your act out with comedy - but Jimmy and Jey Uso have just about managed to remain on the straight and narrow despite a post-WrestleMania move to Monday Night Raw that could have seen them sunken by sh*tty scripts.

A brief feud with The Revival could have paid off hopes and dreams dating back to 2017 for what could and should have been one of the best in-ring programmes in the company. Instead, it remains a minor miracle that both pairs weren't completely destroyed by reductive banter segments and the lack of any profound and proper payoff.

They perhaps should have seen this mid-year dip coming - as SmackDown Champions heading into WrestleMania they were the division's safest pair of hands. Never in the history of McMahon's organisation has that exact tag served an act with the push said talent actually warrants.

It's main roster Tag Team Wrestling in 2019. It could be much, much worse.
