On the surface, you'd be forgiven for rolling your eyes at the thought of seeing these particular two teams colliding once again over the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Throughout 2017 into 2018, it seemed as though these two units warred at just about every opportunity available, but my goodness did they put on a show along the way.

Despite putting together arguably one of the strongest tag team programmes in WWE history over that period, though, the two dynamic forces that are The New Day and The Usos weren't ever really given a shot at tearing the house down at 'Mania as a reward for all their Hell in a Cell and Sin City Street Fight good work. 'Mania 34 did see them line up alongside The Bludgeon Brothers in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it three-way tag dance over the SmackDown duo titles. Yet, this still felt like a missed chance.

Now, with The Usos back to their scrappy best at the side of The Tribal Chief and Xavier Woods & Kofi Kingston arriving on Friday nights to brighten up the blue, both teams find themselves in the perfect position to revisit one of the finest feuds of our time.

Assuming Jimmy & Jey are still in possession of the gold, the duo would have held the titles, likely with help from their cousin, for nine impressive months. They'll also be desperate not to allow The New Day to stretch further ahead of them in the all-time tag title reign rankings (Usos: 7, New Day: 11, as it stands). The match will be magical, the result is a win-win - babyfaces get a much-needed 'Mania win, or heels extend an epic reign - and some time would help elevate these often forgotten belts to the point of actually meaning something. Imagine that...
