10 Disgruntled Superstars WWE Rewarded With A Push
9. The Usos
This year will mark a decade that The Usos have been a part of the WWE roster, and in that time, they have won the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships several times over. Having basically done it all, it wouldn't have been a stretch to think that they were considering leaving WWE when their contracts were reportedly set to expire in mid-2019.
Jimmy and Jey Uso had been on the back burner in the blue brand's tag team division for months and showed no signs of getting back into the title picture. Despite being staples of WWE's tag team ranks for so long, there was legitimate concern among officials that they weren't going to re-sign.
This was around the time AEW started up and promised to make tag team wrestling a priority, so The Usos jumping ship to the opposition wasn't out of the realm of possibility whatsoever.
As soon as news of their uncertain status broke, WWE inserted them back into the tag title mix and had them beat Shane McMahon and The Miz for the belts at Elimination Chamber. They went on to successfully defend the twin titles at Fastlane and WrestleMania 35 before dropping them to The Hardy Boyz on SmackDown two nights later.
They also inked new five-year deals in April, ensuring they won't be going anywhere any time soon.
