Backstage Update On The Dudley Boyz Position In The Tag Team Division

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter and Wrestlezone.com are reporting that The Dudley Boyz are being “phased-down” in the tag team division for a reason. Since their amazing and unexpected return, The Dudley Boyz have been feuding with The New Day. The nine-time WWE Tag Team Champions have done an excellent job of putting over that team with good and consistent tag team wrestling.

However, The Dudley Boyz haven’t been able to win the Tag Team Championship and have been a temporary band-aid on a tag division that only lacks depth. The reason The Dudley Boyz are being “phased-down” is because The Usos are nearing their return.

WWE plans for The Usos to be the top babyface team in the division. Currently, Jey and Jimmy Uso are already back training in Orlando together. That shows that Jey Uso is medically cleared to return for the first time since April. Jimmy Uso has been featured on commentary for the majority of the year and wrestled on occasion on Smackdown and Main Event to keep off the ring rust.

WWE’s plans are to bring back The Usos to WWE television sooner rather than later. They’re most likely going to feud with The New Day immediately. The Dudley Boyz will be the constant of the tag team division and help new teams get over to grow the tag team division.
