There's a strong argument to be made that The Usos should be considered among the best tag teams in WWE history. Jimmy and Jey are one of the company's biggest highlights in 2017, but while the brotherly duo have faded in and out of prominence at times, it's hard to argue with their track record.

Matches like their Battleground 2014 clash with Erick Rowan and Luke Harper are the perfect evidence for such an argument. It's not quite a modern classic, but it was easily the best match on a lacklustre pay-per-view, and one deserving of a lot more shine than it currently gets.

The Two-out-of-Three Falls stipulation usually demands a lengthy runtime, but not here. Instead of overstaying their welcome, the foursome crammed an incredible amount of action into a relatively compact 18-minute runtime, with each individual performer shining.

The Wyatts were great as a set of hard-hitting, old-school power-brawlers, with the Usos' faster, more athletic approach making them perfect foils for their opponents. Inevitably, the two teams went 1-1 within the first few falls, leading to an exciting third stage full of outrageously close near-falls, before The Usos retained with a double splash.
