Are the former Tag Team Champions locked in Vince McMahon's doghouse?

One of the most decorated and celebrated tag teams in recent WWE history they may be, but new speculation suggests The Usos could be in hot water with company officials.

This is according to WWE insider Brad Shephard. Speaking on his Oh, You Didn't Know podcast, he claimed to have spoken to a source inside the company, asking "who the hell have The Usos pissed off?", in relation to the duo constantly being stuck on pay-per-view Kickoff Shows despite their elite-level performances.

His source replied that they didn't know why there was heat on Jimmy and Jey, but refused to reject the idea that officials are upset with them.

This is entirely speculative and should be treated as such. Get your pinches of salt at the ready, though it is believable. The Usos continually knock it out of the park, but even last year's awesome New Day feud was buried on Kickoffs and undercards, and they're lucky to make it onto SmackDown more than once a month these days.

Though The Usos captained their Survivor Series team, the match was so undermined that WWE didn't even factor it into the night's Raw vs. SmackDown score.
