2. The Usos (c) vs. The New Day- WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match

It didn’t take long for these two teams to rekindle their rivalry. WWE dedicated a couple of brief segments to New Day and The Usos to build up their tag team title match and it was more than enough. Honestly, they could have shown replays of their past matches and it would have sufficed.

All five men have incredible chemistry with one another, as their series of matches last summer proved. Their upcoming bout at Fastlane has a different wrinkle to it, as both groups enter this match as babyfaces. This probably means we’ll see more chain wrestling from the teams to start before they pick up the pace and bring the fans to their feet.

Two things might work against these teams: fans’ lofty expectations and the possible Blugeon Brothers interference. New Day and The Usos have set the bar so high with their epic clashes that anything less than a classic might leave the viewing audience underwhelmed. Of course, if most fans expect some Bludgeon Brothers tomfoolery, that could lower their presumptions a bit.

With all that in mind, I believe both teams will bring their A-game once again and produce yet another exhilarating chapter in their feud. Depending on the layout of the main event, New Day/Usos could be the match of the night.
