Let's take a look at the five things WWE got right on SmackDown this week.
#5 The Usos defeated The Street Profits in a great opener on WWE SmackDown
The Usos were ready to take over the WWE SmackDown tag team division this week. The brothers told Roman Reigns that they would defeat The Street Profits and then go on to win the SmackDown tag team titles soon.
Reigns continued to plant seeds of doubt in Jey’s head before The Usos returned to tag team action. The Street Profits hit the ring and cut a promo, putting their clash over as a dream match.
After members of both teams were done talking, they got down to business in the ring. Jimmy and Jey showed great chemistry once again and isolated Montez Ford for some time.
Ford took down the brothers before tagging Angelo Dawkins into the match. Dawkins came in all fired up and unloaded on his opponents as the two teams continued to trade some big moves.
Ford looked set to take the victory with a frog splash to Jimmy, but Jey moved his brother out of the way. This allowed Jimmy to hit the superkick on Ford to earn the win for his team.
The Usos and The Street Profits are two of the top tag teams in WWE today. They delivered one of the best tag team openers in recent memory on SmackDown. It was good to watch Jimmy and Jey work together after such a long time.
While The Street Profits are pretty bulletproof, WWE needs to ensure that they do not pick up too many losses as it can affect their credibility in the long run.
