3 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Oct 4)

3. Three Teams, No Reaction

When Smackdown came back from commercial and The Vaudevillains were in the ring, something was up. When The Hype Bros came out to face them, it looked like an angle was brewing. Shockingly - apart from a cameo from The Ascension - nothing untoward happened.

Unfortunately, nothing interesting happened, either. This was a very standard tag team affair, with Zack Ryder taking the heat and Rawley getting the hot tag. During the match, Konnor and Viktor came out to watch, seemingly scouting the competition in order to put over the idea of a tag team division beyond The Usos, American Alpha, and Rhyno and Heath Slater.

The Hype Bros ended up scoring a tepid win with The Hype Ryder, seemingly boosting them up the rankings (but let's be honest, even the Smackdown Tag Team Titles are above these teams). Overall, nothing was really accomplished.
