A refreshing new look for Jimmy and Jey

This was nothing to write home about, and was on the card simply to further the storyline of the tag tournament. The winners were never in question, as the Hype Bros had no chance of victory here. But, the Usos’ transformation as heels has already been great, with the changed attire, entrance, and in-ring style working to perfection.

Rather than the colourful face-paint, crowd pandering and high-flying, Jimmy and Jey were concentrated, arrogant and malicious, beating down Ryder’s knee towards the end of the match and using a submission rather than a frog splash or superkick.

These subtle changes will and already have done wonders for the brothers, and I am looking forward to their feud with American Alpha. Overall, a decent match that was held back from full-throttle due to the Usos pulling double duty later on.
