10 Biggest Beneficaries Of WWE Talking Smack
3. The Usos
At this time one year ago, The Usos were just another tag team on the roster. Sure, they had a ton of success a few years back as two-time WWE Tag Team champions, but they had grown so stagnant as babyfaces that they were beyond ready for some sort of a shake-up.
Thus, their heel turn on SmackDown Live was long overdue and a welcome change for the duo. It took them time to find their footing as heels, but eventually, they came into their own and underwent a character overhaul. The evolution began on Talking Smack when they were asked why they turned their backs on the fans, and almost immediately they clicked when ranting about how they weren't appreciated.
Once they started sporting the hoodies and "Day One Ish" gear, they were firing on all cylinders, and their chemistry with Daniel Bryan every time they showed up on Talking Smack was hysterical. The three even formed a "rap group" at one point, but The Usos subtly reverted back to being jerks by denying Bryan a spot in their stable.
When The Usos were just themselves on Talking Smack, sparks flew, and it wasn't long after that they captured the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.
