What Happened Before This Week’s SmackDown Live?

Does this count as creative having something for you? The tag team scene in WWE isn’t great at the moment to put it mildly. SmackDown Live’s is better than the Monday Night Raw version but that’s not exactly a big hurdle to clear. The worst part is some of the better teams are sitting on the sidelines instead of being out there leading the division. Two of them were in action Tuesday night but, again, they couldn’t get on TV.

Make sure to check out our full SmackDown Live results right here.

According to Wrestlinginc.com, the Usos defeated the Bar in a dark match before this week’s SmackDown Live went on the air. The Usos were last in action on television two weeks ago when they lost to HELL NO. The Bar on the other hand has not had a televised match since May 29 when they teamed with the Miz in a losing effort in a six man tag team match against New Day.

Do you remember these guys?

Opinion: Can anyone give me a reason why either of these teams can’t be sent over to Monday Night Raw? The tag team division over there is headlined by Bray Wyatt/Matt Hardy and the B Team. Other than that it’s the usual suspects of teams who aren’t going anywhere anytime soon while (arguably) the two best teams in the company are stuck in dark matches or not being able to make television. Send the Usos over to Monday Night Raw and let them be on top of the division for a while.
