Mandy Rose and The Usos both hit significant WWE landmarks this weekend, crossing milestones with their respective championships in the company.

Sunday 15 May saw Rose hit 200 days as NXT Women's Champion. In addition, Jimmy and Jey are now closing in on a full year as SmackDown Tag Team Champions, having hit 300 days on top on Sunday.

WWE celebrated the milestones with a couple of tweets (Mandy Rose, The Usos).

Mandy defeated Raquel Gonzalez to become NXT Women's Champion on 26 October 2021. The Toxic Attraction leader has since mounted successful defences against Cora Jade, Io Shirai, and Kay Lee Ray, as well as her latest scalp, Dakota Kai, who has since been released by the company. A major focus of NXT 2.0 (along with Toxic Attraction) since its rebranding, Rose is currently feuding with Wendy Choo and Roxanne Perez on Tuesday nights.

The Usos, meanwhile, have made eight successful defences since taking their SmackDown Tag Team Titles from The Mysterios last July. Although WWE had teased the idea of unifying their SmackDown straps with RK-Bro's Raw equivalents, this doesn't appear to be on the table anymore.
