Big Cass isn't the only one in need of some pep in his step. The Bar, fresh off losing their Raw Tag Titles to a child (well, technically) and jobbing to Breezango on Raw, come to SmackDown hoping for better. They'll get it if WWE put them in there with the likes of AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan.

Styles and Bryan gel whenever they're in the ring together; as recent opponents, they were in their element. As (more recent) partners, they made in-ring chemistry seem easy and elevated their opponents by bumping around nicely. Besides, who doesn't want to see Cesaro share the ring with Bryan and AJ?

Toss Sheamus into the mix and it could be one of the greatest tag matches of the year.

The Bar require the creative team's attention before they lose that shine they've worked so hard to build and end up being split. A match like this could be just the tonic, and it'd give SmackDown that kick-ass wrestling focus hinted at earlier.
