Right now, the Usos are probably the best tag team act in WWE. A year into their heel run, the two have found themselves both in the ring and on the mic and are carrying SmackDown's tag team division. However, despite their (well-earned, I might add) praise from fans celebrating their current run, the Usos have been the victim of revisionist history. The assumption is that it was only until recently that they were a good tag team, and otherwise, they were mediocre, meandering babyfaces who were never over.

Looking at their run as tag champions in 2014, however, it's clear as day that the Usos were very much over, even as whitemeat babyfaces. That can be attributed to their energy and chemistry as a team, and the fact that they were having great matches with just about everyone from the Shield, to the Wyatts, and of course, the Rhodes Brothers. This opening match at NOC 2014, where the Usos lost their titles to Goldust and Stardust, was a fun, energetic opening contest that showcased the athleticism and chemistry between the two teams. Even if the fans' enthusiasm had waned for the Usos' act by this point, they still perked up mightily for the contest.

The Usos are great right now, but as this match shows, they've always shown signs of greatness.
