One of the more underrated aspects of The Usos as a tag-team is how willing they are to sell for their opponents when it counts. On SmackDown, Jimmy and Jey worked wonders and made Rowan look like he deserved to be one half of the new Tag-Team Champs.

Mid-way through the match, one of the brothers had his head squeezed by Rowan. Instead of using this as an excuse to relax, the Uso in question acted like their eyes were about to pop out of their skull. This innocuous moment added a ton to the spot and turned it from rest hold into dramatic moment.
