5 things you need to know before tonight's WWE SmackDown Live (January 8th, 2019)

#4 Title opportunity on the line

The Bar and The Usos will battle tonight on SmackDown.

As one of the hottest tag teams in recent history, The Usos had a truly epic 2018.

Entering last year as the SmackDown Live Tag Team Champions, the team of Jimmy and Jey have had a record-breaking 329 combined days as champions of the blue brand, across their three separate reigns.

The team, however, would love to break the record and become four-time SmackDown Tag Team Champions and may get their chance when they meet The Bar tonight.

Whilst this match won't be for the blue-strapped titles, if The Usos do win, they will earn a title shot down the line against the Europeans, presumably at the Royal Rumble.

With so much at stake tonight, expect Jimmy and Jey to throw caution to the wind in their efforts to get that fourth reign as champions.
