10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Jan 11)

8. Give The Usos Some Momentum Back

WWE appear to have moved away from the idea of The Family. Previously, Roman Reigns was backed up by both Dean Ambrose and The Usos against the League Of Nations, but that concept seems to have been abolished. In conjunction with that, Jimmy and Jey have been transitioned away from the WWE Tag-Team Title hunt, leaving them largely in limbo. That's not a great spot to be in, and it doesn't show that management place much trust in the brothers. Maybe they need something a little different to try and regain their momentum. It's unlikely that the team will be turned heel, and truthfully that probably wouldn't serve any purpose at this point. The Usos are popular, they're just cannon fodder in the tag ranks for now. On Monday Night Raw, they really must start winning again. As much as it's said that wins and losses don't matter as much as they to in wrestling, there's still the issue of perception. WWE don't want to run the risk of having fans tag The Usos as a regularly jobbing unit, especially when they are solid workers and entertain consistently.
