5 Major Mistakes WWE Made With The Superstar Shake-up
3. Locked Up
God bless Jimmy and Jey Uso for sticking with WWE when virtually the entire fanbase were no longer attached to them.
After years of fighting hard for an opportunity only to end up playing hard in the f*cking paint, The Usos' summer 2016 heel turn didn't just reinvent a knackered act. It revitalised an entire division.
Taking tips from some of the dynamic duels in NXT that year, Jimmy and Jey set about turning 2017 into the year pairs gained primacy on a main roster ran by a man that doesn't like to waste wages on tag team wars.
This in itself wasn't remotely problematic, but The Usos have ran through so many teams so often now that there seems so little for them to even do on SmackDown Live!, regardless of the new blood.
Even blue brand newbies The Bar had a one-off with them so memorable that a 'new' feud this year would have that WWE 'superservice' rematch stench about it.
An explosive programme awaited with The Revival on Raw, not to mention their first significant interactions with Roman Reigns since they got to play Steiner Brothers to his Lex Luger back in 2015. Jimmy and Jey will have to confound expectations for another year, instead of being presented with their just rewards on the red brand.
