5 Best rivalries in SmackDown Live history

2. New Day and The Usos

In 2017, the SmackDown Live Tag Team Division was miles ahead of RAW's. The Blue Brand has to thank the outstanding rivalry between The New Day and The Usos for that.

Although New Day and The Usos had some decent matches in 2015 and 2016, WWE began taking their feud seriously after WrestleMania 33 in 2017. The Usos were the SmackDown Tag Team Champions at that time and kicked off their epic saga at Money in the Bank 2017, but it all ended in a count-out.

Their subsequent battles at Battleground and SummerSlam 2017 were brilliant - especially the latter. WWE fans criticized the company for putting such an epic match on the SummerSlam Kickoff Show. WWE realized their mistake and started giving the rivalry the limelight it deserved.

WWE scheduled a Chicago Street Fight between the two teams on SmackDown. At Hell in a Cell, the two teams went to war inside the demonic structure.

WWE did a good job finishing the feud. After Hell in a Cell, there was a segment where The Usos and The New Day called for a truce and ended their rivalry with mutual respect.

Although this rivalry had more than five marquee bouts in five months, things never became stale. Both teams always brought something new to the table and most importantly, they elevated SmackDown's Tag Team Division.
