The Usos successfully defended their WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships against Dominik and Rey Mysterio at SummerSlam 2021 last weekend. The two teams were involved in a heated rivalry, and the champions will now look for fresher challenges. There aren't many tag teams on the Blue brand that can pose a serious threat to The Usos, but the writers still have a few options.
The Alpha Academy have been involved in dominant feuds since the beginning of the year. Otis and Gable first engaged in an intense rivalry with Dominik and Rey Mysterio. Following that, they targeted The Street Profits and maintained an upper hand. They will undoubtedly make for interesting challengers for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.
That said, the promotion's reservations with respect to booking a heel vs. heel feud might not allow this rivalry to unfold. We could also see The Street Profits demand a shot at the tag team championships on WWE SmackDown.
The Usos might also focus on helping Roman Reigns against Brock Lesnar, but sooner or later, we will find them crossing paths with new opponents. It will be exciting to find out more about their next title challengers.
