6 Ups & 1 Down From WWE SmackDown (April 19 - Results & Review)

5. Those New Tag-Team Belts

R-Truth and The Miz must be gutted. They were lumped with uglier Tag-Team Titles than the classy ones gifted to Austin Theory and Grayson Waller on SmackDown. These new belts are like a mix of the old World Tag and WWF Tag straps, which is definitely a good thing. In fact, it's a very good thing.

The new titles are a huge improvement over the belts A-Town Down Under had been carrying around since WrestleMania. Again, they're also miles better than the recent Raw reveal for Awesome Truth. Bonus points go to Waller and Theory for being ungrateful pr*cks around Triple H too, and for Nick Aldis then warning them to behave.

Top character work from everyone.

The "Roman" tag belts weren't popular when they were first introduced in 2010/2011, so people will be glad to see the back of them. These new titles unveiled on SmackDown are soaked in tradition and remarkably understated - WWE hasn't splashed garish colours all over them. Good!
