10 Things We Learned From WWE SmackDown In The UK (May 9)

8. The Fashion Files, Week 2

The 'Special London Unit' edition of The Fashion Files was another hilarious triumph for the Number One contenders, building off their show-stealing debut episode on last week's broadcast.

Despite an abject failure with the ultra-talented American Alpha, WWE may be onto a winner with Breezango. Fusing talented in-ring displays with believable comic charisma, the duo don't suddenly don't seem quite like lovable losers.

Emanating from 'The Old Foggy Apple', Breeze and Fandango adopted UK police garb and Sherlock Holmes gear respectively to investigate ugly lead paint hand and footprints staining the O2 Arena corridors.

'Who really cares which one is which, honestly' and 'I'm gettin' too old for this shirt' were killer lines, and the Davey Boy Smith image for the opening joke was another perfectly pitched visual gag to complete the package.

Their victory over The Ascension later in the show to pay off the vignette triggered a response from The Usos that allowed Jimmy and Jey to flaunt their own personality in a spirited takedown of their underdog challengers.

Confident and composed in the heel extensions of their real-life affable natures, the brothers carried themselves as polished champions and hammered a '12 days' warning at the challengers so passionately that it almost veered toward Enzo and Cass theft. Another potential case for the Fashion Police to crack?
