-Kicking off this week’s Smackdown with a video recapping some highlights from the Tag Team match at Bad Blood.
-Jimmy Uso welcomes fans to Smackdown and says he was sidelined by an injury thanks to Solo Sikoa. He says his younger brother couldn’t even look him in the eyes when he attacked him and blindsided him from behind then says it’s about big brother against little brother. He warns Sikoa that he plans on beating him down.
-Roman Reigns’ music hits and he makes his way out. He calls for Jimmy to hand him his mic and he does. Reigns tells Greenville to join him in acknowledging Jimmy and tells him that since he’s not an older brother or a Wise Man, he can’t understand Jimmy wanting his revenge on Sikoa. He says he’s a Tribal Chief and says when he led The Bloodline, they had everything from money to power. He says when he and Jimmy step foot in the ring, he wants it to be known that they’re the GOATs and the Ones when they hold up their 1 symbol.
-Jimmy says Reigns’ statement isn’t true, then says he stands in the middle of the ring in front of a Tribal Chief without a tribe. He says he came back because Reigns needed help and says the 2 of them need help to take down The Bloodline. He says he knows one person they can get help from but Reigns tells him not to call Jey Uso. Jimmy says he’s still Tribal Chief but he’s the only one who actually acknowledges him these days and heads to the back.
