4 things SmackDown got right on the first episode of 2020 (January 3, 2020)

#1 The Usos return

While the match between the teams of Daniel Bryan & Roman Reigns, and Baron Corbin & Dolph Ziggler was decent, it was what happened after the match that made things much more interesting.

During the final stages of the match, Bryan applied the LeBell Lock to Ziggler, which was broken by Corbin who took a Spear from Reigns for his trouble.

Bryan then connected a running knee, but ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt appeared to haunt the former WWE Champion. He sent him through the barricade and then applied the mandible claw to Bryan, taking him out for good.

This allowed The King and The Showoff to attack Reigns and handcuff him once again. However, The Usos returned to a huge pop and saved The Big Dog by super-kicking both heels.

This was a great way for SmackDown to bring back The Usos, by having them save Reigns at a time when he seemed helpless. It will be great to watch these three men work together down the line, much like Seth Rollins and AOP.

The return was booked to perfection by creative, and the return of Robert Roode to the mix will allow SmackDown to have some big six-man tag team matches.
