6 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Jan 3)

1. The Usos' Return

All together now: "Ooooooo"-so good to see Jimmy and Jey back.

The Usos were packing some fresh new haircuts and looked motivated as they fought off 'King' Corbin and Dolph Ziggler to save their cousin Roman Reigns (and the fans) from more dog food trauma. Their surprise comeback fills a gaping hole in the tag-team division behind New Day as babyfaces too.

Memphis loved what they were seeing, and rightfully so. Now, Jimmy, Jey and Roman can team up to meet Corbin, Ziggler and possibly Robert Roode if he races back quicker than first expected. Other than that, there's that Usos vs. Corbin and Ziggler match to have on the house show loop, and then the brothers can slide back into the tag division.

The Usos are one of the best teams of the past decade in WWE, and it's genuinely great to see them back on TV after recent run-ins with the law. A SmackDown with Jimmy and Jey is much stronger than one without them.
