The New Day

The New Day is a professional wrestling stable consisting of Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods. They are currently assigned to WWE’s SmackDown brand. The group’s initial inception was as a villainous stable, with all three members playing the role of heel characters; however, they eventually became fan favorites, with their positive attitudes and their charisma.

The Usos

The Usos are a professional wrestling tag team of twin brothers Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, who are part of the Anoaʻi family. They are both former two-time SmackDown Tag Team Champions, with Jimmy winning once and Jey winning the other three times. They are also former one-time WWE Raw Tag Team Champions and one-time WWE Tag Team Champions.

The team debuted on September 1, 2010, on SmackDown. They wrestled their first match as a team on September 7, which they won. The Usos made their pay-per-view debut at Survivor Series in 2010 as part of Team Mysterio, which defeated Team Del Rio in the traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series tag team elimination match. In early 2013, The Usos turned heel for the first time since their main roster debut. In late 2013, The Usos entered a storyline with then WWE Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes and Goldust, eventually leading to a match for the titles at the Royal Rumble in January 2014, which they won to become two-time WWE Tag Team Champions.

AJ Styles

AJ Styles, one of the most popular wrestlers in the world, made his long-awaited WWE debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble. He has since gone on to have an incredibly successful career in WWE, winning multiple championships and becoming one of the top stars in the company.

But before he was AJ Styles, he was just plain old Alan Jones. And before he was a world-famous wrestler, he was a high school student in Georgia with a dream of becoming a professional wrestler.

Alan Jones was born on June 2, 1977, in Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. His family moved around a lot when he was growing up, as his father was a Marine. The family eventually settled in Gainesville, Georgia, where Alan attended high school.

It was during his time in high school that Alan Jones realized his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. He began watching wrestling on TV and became a big fan of wrestlers like Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. He even began mimicking their moves in his backyard.

The future of WWE Smackdown

The future of WWE Smackdown is unclear at this time. The show has been on the air for almost 20 years and has been through several changes during that time. The most recent change was a move to FOX in October 2019.

The show was originally created as a way to showcase the talents of WWE’s cruiserweight division. The division was later dissolved and Smackdown became a brand unto itself. In recent years, Smackdown has been considered the ‘B-show’ to WWE’s flagship program, Monday Night Raw.

It is unclear what the future holds for WWE Smackdown, but it is safe to say that the show will continue to evolve over time.
