If you only watch one match from this week's SmackDown, make it The Usos vs. Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. That opening tag match was regrettably the only one worth tuning in for.

Jimmy and Jey have their act down, and they rarely have bad matches. The same goes for Ziggler and Roode, who both seemed to be having a blast in there with a tag-team that actually sells for them. At just over 12 minutes, this exhibition of tag-team excellence was long enough to satisfy and short enough that it didn't get old.

Fans in California were also red hot for The Usos. They popped big on a hot tag spot and for the brother's clean win. As mentioned in an earlier entry, this really should've opened the show, and that 'Dirt Sheet' segment should've come after it.

Fingers crossed The Usos get something worthwhile to do at WrestleMania. They've been on top form since returning last month.
