Ricochet & Aleister Black vs. The Usos (c) vs. Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura vs. The Bar – The Usos at WWE Wrestlemania 35 defeated Ricochet & Aleister Black, Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura and The Bar to retain the Smackdown WWE tag team championship.
The odds were against Jimmy & Jey at WrestleMania 35, as WWE actually booked consequences for their actions during The New Day’s gauntlet run to earn Kofi Kingston a WWE title shot.
The six-time tag champs have lots of history with Cesaro & Sheamus. They’ve had run-ins with Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura, too (mostly the Bulgarian Brute from his days with Aiden English, since this latest alliance is new, and Nak hasn’t done a ton of teaming on the WWE main roster). The new kids from NXT, Dusty Classic winners Aleister Black & Ricochet represent a new challenge – although the Usos did get to see them in action first hand on the ‘go home’ show when they partnered up for an eight-man tag.
Jimmy & Jey defeated Shane McMahon & The Miz for the belts in the first place (then successfully defended them against the former besties at Fastlane), they were already on the McMahon family’s naughty list.
