4. Usos Move Towards Tag Title Contention

The tag division in its entirety was absent from Tuesday’s show. The champions, American Alpha would not make any appearance following their deciding win over the Wyatt Family. No other teams would appear to make their case for a shot at the title this week either. That would open up the doors for the tag division to do something meaningful next week.

Moreover, SmackDown would need to build more feuds and title matches to load the card for their next PPV. American Alpha vs The Usos is a money match based on talent alone. Throw in the history between these teams and one would have a solid tag title match. I would expect the Usos to make their case a shot at the title as soon as next week possibly.

We could probably witness a number one contenders match in creative proves to be merciful with the other tag teams. However, all the tag teams have zero momentum at the moment. With Zack Ryder out, the Hype Bros are temporarily out of action. Breezango is entertaining but still needs credibility. Ascension is well, Ascension. That leaves us with Usos vs Slater and Rhyno one last time with the heels going over.
