WWE Smackdown Live December 6th: Analysing and grading each segment

The Hype Bros vs. The Ascension:

A filler match that nobody really wanted to see, but at least WWE tried

Grade: 6.5/10

This was a filler match that did little for either team, but it was nice to see WWE putting in some effort to revitalise both tandems. Pre-match video promos for each duo, was a wise choice for some slight character depth, and the Hype Bros picked up a solid win here.

The match was your usual mediocre TV tag team affair, with the babyfaces coming out on top. If WWE is serious about revitalising the Hype Bros, a series of wins over the next few weeks over more significant teams (Usos?) would be helpful.

Until then, these matches only serve to give the duo a small victory. A prolonged rivalry with another team would help as well, instead of throwaway matches with no stakes. Still, a decent win for the Hype Bros, and an effort from WWE to give these two teams something to work with.
