Breezango came out as #1 contenders for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship after winning a tag team Beat the Clock Challenge last night. As a result, they've got the Usos at the first SmackDown brand ppv in the post WrestleMania season, Backlash.
I think there are a couple of different ways to look at this.
On one hand, it does reinforce the notion that the overall tag team picture on SmackDown Live isn't all that strong. It'll improve significantly once New Day arrives, but that won't be until Kofi is medically cleared, though I don't know why Big E and Woods couldn't carry on in his absence. Still, I don't think there's any real doubt that the blue brand's tag team scene is probably the overall weakest component of the main roster right now following the brand split.
On the other hand, SmackDown Live's creative team has shown a strong talent for being able to do more with less and the whole "Land of Opportunity" aspect of things has yielded a lot of entertaining results. Tyler Breeze and Fandango can be a lot of fun to watch and both are worth more than the use they've been given in WWE. While the whole Fashion Police thing is kind of silly, it's something that could be tweaked a little into a solid gimmick that fans can get by. Also, I think fans could get behind them if they were portrayed more seriously because they've put on good matches in the past. While it's been a while, I remember they had a couple of really fun matches against the Usos last year so the potential is there.
I think there's little chance of Breezango winning at this point, but this is still a good opportunity to show some of what they've got and to improve their standing.
