The Usos Retain WWE SmackDown Tag Team Titles At Fastlane, Heel Turn Takes Place

The Usos have retained the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

The Usos have retained the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships. The newly champions beat Shane McMahon and The Miz at the WWE Fastlane pay-per-view event from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.

Following the match, McMahon turned on The Miz which marked his heel turn. This has been something that fans were speculating about since WWE decided to pair them up as a tag team.

Now, it appears that they will enter into a program that will eventually lead to a match at the biggest event of the year for the company. WrestleMania 35 is scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 7, 2019 in East Rutherford, NJ at MetLife Stadium.

McMahon and The Miz dropped the SmackDown Tag Team Titles to The Usos at the WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

The unlikely pairing earned their first set of WWE gold as a tag team once they beat The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro) at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event in Phoenix, Arizona at Chase Field on the WWE Network.
