After establishing themselves as WWE's most stale act, Jimmy & Jey Uso finally turned heel after losing decisively to American Alpha this week on SmackDown. This was objectively the right move, as it breathed new life into both the Usos and SmackDown Live's tag division. Until this point it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that Gable and Jordan were going to emerge with the straps, but nobody saw their forfeiture coming.

The Usos will surely defeat Mojo Rawley and Zack Ryder, before going on to defeat Heath Slater and Rhyno to break the hearts of all of Slater's kids. This will allow a team WWE desperately wants to be credible to be the first champions, and allow a natural chase story to continue on SmackDown with AA, Slater & Rhyno, and the Hype Bros. all on the trail.

The best way to continue the Usos' momentum following the turn is to give them the new belts. It must happen and it will happen.
