5. The Fashion X Files

Breezango's silly skits may have started life as a one-note joke, but in the all-too-dreary barren lands of WWE's weekly output, The Fashion Files have become more must-see on a Tuesday night than a Shinsuke Nakamura main event match.

Such is life on SmackDown Live!'s so-called 'Land of Opportunity', where Fandango and Tyler Breeze must be credited for their outstanding performance as dunce cops solving child-like mysteries.

Aside from the spellbinding visual gags and daft punchlines littered throughout the dialogue whenever the pair are on screen, the vignettes have remarkably crafted an actual storyline that at some point requires an actual payoff.

Several weeks ago, Tyler Breeze was assaulted backstage in attack that the pair are still hunting redemption for. Suspects have included The Ascension and The Hype Bros, as, astonishingly, all the trite comedy will eventually lead to a match. In the meantime, the duo have taken to parodying other variants of the genre, with 'Runway Walker: Texas Ranger' and 'Fashion Vice' following on from their original 1970s veneer.

After resolving that it was perhaps 'Ghost Aliens' rather than fellow roster members, a 'Fashion X Files' was promised for this weeks edition, casting the stylish lawmen as a contemporarily stupid Mulder and Scully. The truth is still out there.
