10 WWE Joke Pushes That Stopped Being Funny

6. Breezango

It should have been apparent when Tyler Breeze and Fandango dressed as cleaners for their one pay-per-view title clash against The Usos in 2017 that the pair were destined to fall flat despite their 'Fashion Files' segments routinely generating the loudest reactions on SmackDown Live!

The creative and well-thought-out vignettes were more loaded than the duo's prop cop firearms - superlative visual digs at roster members old and new augmented some genuinely hilarious dialogue between the two. Channelling the brilliant Edge & Christian routines from 2000 (two idiots, one thinks he's less so and is thus even more stupid than the other), Breeze and 'Deputy Dang' earned the aforementioned crack at the belts and every other minute of television time they worked incredibly hard for.

The magic dissipated when it became apparent that a long-running whodunit plot wasn't going to get paid off, particularly as their profile sunk back below ground on the blue brand by the end of the year. Moved to Raw in 2018's Superstar Shake-up, the team have yet to serve a single purpose on the flagship show - a crying shame based on prior form of both.
