The New Day has been a consistently entertaining act for the past six months-plus, sometimes being one of the few bright spots on Raw. Theyve held the Tag Team Championships since August, last defending them nearly a month ago. Last week, they lost a nontitle tag match to the Usos, which would seem to indicate that the twin brothers are in line for a title match either on Raw or at the Royal Rumble. Nothing has been made official yet, but it would make sense to have the titles on the line sometime soon. The Usos are not what youd call stale, but unless theyre winning the titles, then their next tag title match should be their last for a bit. Seeing New Day defend the titles successfully would hopefully lead to some new faces in the tag team division. NXT boasts several teams that could contribute right now in WWE and inject some fresh blood into the tag team ranks, so maybe we could see New Day successfully defend against the Usos and then start moving on to a new opponent at Mania.
