As repetitive as the thought of another Usos vs. New Day feud is, only a fool would deny that they get it done in the ring. It's regrettable that WWE don't have something bigger for Xavier Woods on his own now he's 'King Of The Ring', but meh. It's not like Kofi Kingston would die a death hugging the bench for a while either.

Onto the match.

SmackDown's main event zipped along with all the usual energy you'd expect from four guys this experienced and talented. The Usos know when to launch into heat sections better than most tags, and the Woods/Kingston combo will always hear cheers from crowds when they mount a comeback and get some shine.

New Day winning obviously sets up a SmackDown Tag Title match between these teams at some point in the future. That may come after the usual 'us vs. them' vibes of Survivor Series. WWE might prefer that Jimmy and Jey work RK-Bro on that card first.
