[WATCH] Unseen heated WWE RAW segment with The Usos and The New Day backstage
WWE RAW aired from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the first time ever this week. The New Day and The Usos, widely considered two of the best tag teams in history, were engaged in a heated exchange. WWE shared backstage footage of the two teams at RAW this week.
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were defeated by The War Raiders on RAW, as tension between the longtime tag team partners heated up. Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso also appeared on RAW for a segment with Sami Zayn, two days after the Crown Jewel debacle with Roman Reigns. The Usos recently reunited after being apart for around one year, while The New Day seems to be headed for a split after ten years together.
WWE shared backstage footage of the legendary tag teams at Mohammed Abdo Arena in Saudi Arabia during RAW. The Usos tried to calm things down while Woods and Kingston argued about their loss to Erik and Ivar. As Jey tried to get Xavier to relax, the star taunted him by asking him to go fight his brother again.
"If The Usos can overcome their issues, so can The New Day fr [face exhaling emoji]," officials wrote with the video below.
The two teams share a storied rivalry since 2014, one that is unmatched in years in WWE. With several years of experience and rivalry behind them, the two teams could once again head toward an epic match.
