Move over New Day and back to your penitentiary Usos, because The Bludgeon Brothers are set to rule the SmackDown tag-team scene for a good few months. Their win at WrestleMania in a Triple Threat was convincing enough to suggest Harper and Rowan will be given the monster push treatment as champions.

They've had that without the belts anyway, but this title win means they're the team on Tuesday nights for the first time.

The Usos, as beaten champions, will be due a rematch in the near future. WWE can either place that on the Backlash card (which is sure to be crammed) or use it to main event an episode of SmackDown. The latter choice is probably better, if only because it would give the quartet more time.

Despite their status as beast-like, power-based heels, Bludgeon Bros are better in-ring than they're given credit for. That's especially true when it comes to Harper, and it's nice to see him finally getting back in a role that suits him after years of treading water.
