6 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Nov 11)

3. Chemistry For Days

The Usos New Day

This writer previously questioned why anyone needed to see yet another Usos vs. New Day match on WWE TV. Well, ladies and gents, let it be known that this writer was wrong. Dead wrong. Watch the opening bout on this week's SmackDown to see why. These lads had a pay-per-view scrap to be proud of.

It was superb.

That opener was untouchable in terms of pacing, drama and general in-ring work. Now, The Usos will go on to break New Day's longstanding title record, and they deserve to. Jimmy and Jey have been carrying this division on their backs for a while now, and it's awesome to see them get rewarded for that.

If you only watch one match from SmackDown, make it this one. Tag-team lovers will feast on the chemistry between these squads, and Bloodline enthusiasts will be relieved that Triple H didn't book a shock title change for the sake of it.
