6. Sticking With The Street Profits

Did anyone else think for the most brief of brief moments that Pretty Deadly were about to pull it out of the bag and score a title win just because WWE was in England? There was a fantastic near fall or two in this match vs. The Street Profits that's very much worth discussing. On that note, take a bow PD - you've successfully mixed things up to go from goofy clowns to serious contenders.

The newfound aggression to Kit Wilson and Elton Prince's work has been a sheer joy to behold. That (along with the usual 'local lads done good' atmosphere) made it easier for London to get behind the pair. Sensing this, new WWE tag champions Montez Ford and Angelo dawkins restrained most of their usual dominance to let Deadly take the lead. Good on them for that.

Great champions know when to push and when to pull back.

This match won't rock your world and win 'Match Of The Year' nominations, but it was ultra-competitive and kept the live crowd hooked. A big multi-team tag at 'Mania, possibly with ladders on show, will be fab. SmackDown's tag-team division definitely deserves that kind of spotlight due to all the hard work teams like The Profits, PD, DIY, Los Garza and relative newcomers the Motor City Machine Guns have been doing lately.

Also, please keep pounding the aggression drum with Pretty Deadly. They could break out as an unlikely babyface act if WWE keeps hammering at that side of things. Kit and Elton have charisma for days, but they're a deceptively well-oiled team between the ropes when it matters most too.
