Fans should always expect something good-to-great whenever Jimmy and Jey Uso get on the microphone. Last night's offering fell towards the lower end of that spectrum, but it was an effective prelude to Jey's match with The Miz regardless, with the duo's chemistry and energy as entertaining as ever.

The Usos couldn't keep a straight face when pondering the idea that Miz and Mac are 'The Best Tag Team in the World.' They ran them down, mocked Miz for his apparent "daddy issues," ripped on Shane for his dumb tendency to leap from really high places, then trumpeted their own superiority.

This prompted Shane's music, and the former champions' arrival. They received moderate jeers for calling themselves best in the world, and Miz promised to do both Shane and his father proud at Fastlane, sparking a brawl.

No more than a fun little setup segment, this brief mic battle hit the right notes regardless.
