WWE Day 1: Five potential finishes for The Usos vs. The New Day

Another chapter of the iconic rivalry between The Usos and The New Day unfolds at WWE Day 1

The New Day will look to become SmackDown Tag Team Champions for an eighth time as they take on Jimmy and Jey Uso for the gold. The feud between the teams got even more personal after The Bloodline attacked Sir Kofi a few weeks back on the blue brand.

King Woods had to fend off The Usos as well as their cousin, the Universal Champion Roman Reigns, on his own in the absence of his partner. Things have certainly improved for The New Day since Kingston returned, with the team becoming the #1 contenders to The Usos.

The New Day has soared high with confidence, having won the title of the best tag team in WWE by beating The Usos and RK-Bro in a Triple Threat Match on the December 10 episode of SmackDown.

On the latest episode of SmackDown, Sir Kofi and King Woods, along with Drew McIntyre, ascended to even bigger heights as they beat the team of The Usos and Madcap Moss in a Six-Man Tag Team Miracle on 34th Street Fight.

The Usos, with these recent defeats at the hands of New Day, will undoubtedly look to settle the score on the first night of 2022. In this article, we look at five potential finishes for this match at Day 1:

#5 Kofi Kingston secures the win with Trouble in Paradise at WWE Day 1

Trouble in Paradise is one of the most effective finishers in WWE today.

Kofi Kingston has used it to overcome a host of opponents in his esteemed in-ring career. The New Day member had laid waste to Jimmy Uso with this finisher on the December 17 episode of SmackDown in a Championship Contender's Showdown.

Kingston will now look to use this move again on Day 1 to secure the SmackDown Tag Team Championship for The New Day.

#4 The Usos reign supreme with the Double Uce at Day 1

The Usos, having tasted a string of defeats at the hands of The New Day, will look to come out on top at Day 1.

Jimmy and Jey have put countless opponents to rest with the Double Uce (Diving Splash). The brothers will similarly look to put Kofi and King Woods down with the superkick and then nail the Double Uce for the win.

A triumph at Day 1 will undoubtedly be very satisfying for The Usos, getting a measure of revenge for the defeats suffered earlier.

#3 The New Day conquer the gold with the Daybreak

The Daybreak finisher is a classic demonstration of the coordination between Kofi Kingston and King Woods.

Woods applies a Backbreaker hold on the opponent, and Kingston seals the deal with a top-rope Diving Double Foot Stomp. They have prevailed over The Usos earlier by using this move on Jey on the December 10 episode of SmackDown, and there is no reason why it can't happen again.

Woods and Kofi will look to dish out this move at Day 1 to win the SmackDown Tag Team Champions for an impressive eighth time.

#2 King Woods betrays Sir Kofi to give Usos the win at Day 1

A heel turn for King Woods at Day 1 will undoubtedly be an interesting beginning to 2022.

Since winning the King of the Ring tournament at Crown Jewel 2021, Xavier Woods has competed chiefly in tag team bouts with partner Kofi. The first event of 2022 at Day 1 could be the perfect platform for the King to betray his partner, allowing The Usos to pick up the win.

The angle could be built around Woods' jealousy for not securing any singles title like his partners Kofi and Big E. WWE can then look to start a rivalry between heel him and a babyfaced Kingston, which will undoubtedly be an intriguing proposition for fans in 2022.

#1 Roman Reigns intervenes as The Bloodline destroys The New Day

The simple mantra Roman Reigns has inculcated in The Bloodline is winning at all costs and never surrendering.

To keep the mantra intact, The Universal Champion - who himself has been in a heated feud with The New Day - could look to intervene. The Tribal Chief, with the help of his cousins, had destroyed Kofi Kingston earlier, and now it could be time to dish the same punishment to King Woods.

Interference from Roman at Day 1 will result in The New Day winning the match by disqualification, albeit the SmackDown Tag Team Titles won't change hands. It will undoubtedly be a win-win situation for The Bloodline with another member of The New Day laid to waste and the gold still with them.
