WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos once again put their titles on the line against old rivals New Day. King Woods and Sir Kofi Kingston posed a credible threat to The Usos’ championship reign. However, the members of the Bloodline reigned supreme after an entertaining Street Fight in the main event of the show.

The match’s final moments saw both teams attempting to use the table as a weapon. However, The Usos eventually managed to control their opponents and used a well-synchronized offense to put Kingston through the table. Following that, Jimmy Uso pinned Kingston to retain the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships. It was a good match, but there was still a glaring problem.

The New Day and The Usos delivered the best match of the night at WWE Day 1 earlier this week. As much as we enjoy the chemistry between the two tag teams, it is impossible to ignore the constant repetition in the booking of the tag team division. It's important for both teams to move on to different feuds to help keep things entertaining on the blue brand. Hopefully, we will see The Usos cross paths with a new set of challengers in the coming weeks.

It would be criminal not to mention that The Usos donned their Bloodline t-shirts but put a cross over Paul Heyman. Their not-so-subtle dig at former “Wiseman” made for a good anecdote in the WWE SmackDown main event.
