10 Things We Learned From The Backlash Go-Home WWE SmackDown (May 16)
8. The Fashion Files: Week 3
DUN DUN!
Heading into their Backlash title shot against The Usos, Tyler Breeze and Fandango enacted yet another hilarious edition of their 'Fashion Files' cop show parody. This week taking aim at superstar clothing disasters, 'Prince Pretty' disguised himself as a janitor to go undercover and get hold of the supposed atrocities.
A brilliant line about Baron Corbin's wolf-themed attire as well as a deluded takedown of the Uso's 'Day One Is H' (sic) shirts were the highlights of the dialogue, but the set dressing again nearly stole focus from the droll duo.
Left in the background this week were news cutting reports of the team's recent successes, with post-it labels reporting such crucial details as 'HOT!' 'SEXY!' and 'ABS!' as apparent reminders of the pair's collective panache.
A countdown to Backlash also appeared on the door of their 'office', with Nakamura's red leather attire adorned with 'NO!' notes alongside Tony Chimmel simply referenced as the 'Absolute Worst'.
Used as additional fodder to help bring the team up to a believable position as number one contenders, the segments have been standouts on SmackDown Live! for weeks, and both Breeze and Fandango are working up to their increased role. It would be a crying shame if the idea was abandoned following the Backlash encounter.
