5 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Jan 7)

3. It’s The Little Things

The Usos New Day

This one was easy to miss.

Jimmy and Jey Uso came to the ring for their latest match vs. The Usos sporting their usual Bloodline merchandise. Look closely, and you might've spotted that something was different about the t-shirts. The brothers had customised them by taping over Paul Heyman's face.

That was awesome. Who knows if that was a WWE call or if the siblings decided to do it last-minute. Whatever the case, it shows that they're paying attention and helps the ongoing Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar/Heyman rivalry along without any real effort. That's a big win.

Nothing else to say about that, really. The Usos just deserved some praise for proving that they're on top of some minor details that often make the difference between good storylines and great ones. Now, it might be time for WWE to wheel out some new Bloodline threads.
