From an in-ring perspective, there was no better feud in 2017 than the tagged classic between The Usos and The New Day.

The pairs played hot potato with titles for most of the summer, with a Hell In A Cell opener and SummerSlam kickoff match amongst the best all year.

A television bout in September sandwiched between the two saw the employ of a multiple weapons as SmackDown went to 'Sin City'. The breathless pace of spots that included chairs, tables and kendo sticks built perfectly on top of what the duos had already done. New Day had held doubles gold before, but this win looked among the sweetest.
