6 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (June 4)

The Usos Rey Mysterio

The Usos vs. Rey and Dominik Mysterio is a pay-per-view classic waiting to happen.

Stick these two teams on a three-hour special, give them 15-20 minutes and the freedom to produce themselves, and then watch them fly. Jimmy, Jey, Rey and Dom all delivered the goods across both matches on this week's SmackDown. The overall narrative was tight, the action tremendous and the stakes high.

The doubles division was definitely weaker without The Usos. Jimmy and Jey are one of the finest tags to hit the scene in the past 15 years, and they left a sizeable hole in the division when Jim was healing up from injuries. Now they're back, and once the Roman Reigns saga wraps up, they can dominate yet again.

WWE surely recognise what the brothers bring to the tag-team scene. They expertly complemented the reigning champs by making it seem like the Mysterio clan are equals, and both bouts here set the stage for more to come.
