#3 The Usos and The New Day set to run it back on SmackDown?

One of the all-time great modern tag team feuds was the SmackDown Tag Team title rivalry between The Usos and The New Day in 2017. The two teams faced off in numerous stipulation matches, concluding it with an incredible Hell in a Cell bout.

The two have faced off numerous times since then, but none have had the same impact that their feud did four years ago. This week on SmackDown, King Xavier came out to declare Kofi Kingston as "Sir Kofi" - his most-trusted confidante.

The Usos interrupted the two, and after a small verbal battle, King Xavier challenged The Usos to Trial By Combat. Roman Reigns wasn't present on SmackDown this week, so the classic rivalry between the two teams main evented the show.

It was The New Day who won, with King Xavier getting the pin. WWE has subtly indicated since his King of the Ring victory that Xavier Woods might be the main man of The New Day going forward.

While Big E will have the most long-term singles success, King Xavier could start being portrayed as the leader of the tag team aspect of The New Day on SmackDown going forward.
