When Are The Usos Going to Drop The WWE Tag Team Championship Titles?

“Let me talk to ya”

Be honest with yourself, how much have you enjoyed the Tag Title reign of The Usos? They’ve had the titles sine March, and they’ve had great matches, good matches and okay matches. The good news is to my eyes, they have never been bad matches, but if I’m being honest, I’ve had my fill of The Usos as the champs. I’m starting to look around at the other teams to see who should take the titles off them right now. I am one-hundred percent behind longer reigns with titles, but I also am fully behind acknowledging when something needs to be changed up. In my opinion, it is time for the Usos to drop the titles, but to who?

With the heel turn, is it time to pull the trigger on letting The Dust Brothers run with the titles? Their aggressiveness has definitely helped them, but their characters are so odd that I’m not sure if it fits. It’s not that they aren’t good. I just can’t put my finger on why they are as a team with these characters. I could not explain to you clearly why they should beat the title reign. The mix of the unique, the strange and the aggression is a confusing mix for me because I can’t pinpoint exactly what makes them tick. That might be the point, but I’m struggling to see them as tag champs. I expect the match this Sunday to change my mind, so I’ll get back to you guys. I just see other options as the better choices.

I’ve been saying it for months and months, The Ascension are the prefect adversaries to the Usos. When this team comes up, fans who skip NXT are going to be pleasantly surprised by this team. The Ascension feels like a tag team. A great tag team. The Usos feel like a tag team. Independently, neither man is really better than the other, but as a unit, they work very well. That is the core of solid tag team wrestling for me. Goldust and Stardust are both goos, but when you look at them, you still see Goldust and Cody Rhodes, not just The Dust Brothers. Same goes for The Wyatts, Show/Henry and any other team on the roster right now. It is a great thing that individuals can be individuals within their team, but The Usos don’t really do that. Their strength is their agility and unity. The Ascension is the complete opposite of that. They are ground and pound, brutal and unified. I think we’re pushing the title change by Survivor Series. If The Ascension successful put over Kenta on NXT while The Usos go through another team or two, I think this is the feud that brings the Tag Title feud up a few notches.

AS seen above, there are always The Wyatts. I think the Cesaro/Sheamus feud has legs. I think the physicality of those two as opponents is going to be sweet, but I could definitely see Cesaro and someone else paired as Tag Champions. There are options. I’m starting to think after writing this, The Usos are more or less in the right place and the right time. It’s not that the division is struggling, but they have been consistent and work well together. It seems to me that their consistency is their best quality because it seems like another team would have to get hot in order for the powers that be to pull the trigger on a title change. The Usos have had a damn good run, but I’m just not that deep into The Dust Brothers. Even if they pull off the title change this weekend, I see it as trying to build Star and Goldust’s heel turn with the titles rather than build a few with the titles. It’s that kind of logic that got us Kingston and R-Truth title reigns for months and months. The division is in a good place and I wouldn’t be upset if The Usos kept the titles for a longer stretch of time. I’m just looking around because I feel like it is starting to run in place a little bit. I think a shift is exactly what it needs right now. I think enough is enough and it is time for a change. I don’t really feel that strongly. I just saw the chance to drop some Owen Hart love, so I did.
