Best and worst of WWE Battleground 2017

#2 Perfect start to the show

Big E's shocked expression really says it all! This was awesome.

The SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship has really been relegated to a sideshow compared to what it was originally meant to be, under the reign of the Usos. It wasn't because of anything they did because they were awesome.

It was because WWE creative could not create enough compelling feuds to keep up invested in them. With The New Day as Tag Team Champions, the title could be elevated to the next level and feel important once more, like it was meant to be.

The real story here is the match that Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston had with The Usos. The crowd was hot, the energy was off the charts and the spots were absolutely crazy. We get a rematch as a result of this encounter and we absolutely cannot wait. Sadly, the show would not remain as good, after the hot start!
