A rare confluence of WWE comedy and an actual storyline payoff, the rightfully celebrated Fashion Files segments on SmackDown Live! have been an unmitigated triumph.

Elevating a one-note joke into something audiences can genuinely get behind, Breezango's casting as dunce cops attempting to solve the mystery of who attacked Tyler Breeze and smashed up their office several weeks ago has expanded the angle from one single humorous segment into a vital weekly watch.

Having ran through most units on Tuesday nights, certain signs were pointing to American Alpha as the perpetrators before Jason Jordan was shockingly revealed as Kurt Angle's biological son on this week's edition of Monday Night Raw. Chad Gable's vague explanation of doing 'new things' on the go-home edition of SmackDown Live! following the team's dissolution could perhaps suggest he'll reveal himself as the attacker even without a partner to help, but beyond his involvement the blame may finally fall at the feet of another disenfranchised tag wrestler.

Mojo Rawley's swift fall from grace following his Andre The Giant Battle Royal victory at WrestleMania has sown the seeds for a turn on Hype Bro parter Zack Ryder, and a reveal that Breezango with the victims of his first bout of rage could lead to his shocking snap on 'Long Island Iced Z'.
