This allowed Ziggler and Corbin to attack Reigns, further. The Usos then made their presence felt on the show by running out and make the save for their cousin.
The Usos were away from WWE TV since July after Jimmy Uso was arrested on DUI charges. He was excused of those offenses back on Wednesday, December 18 following which their return seemed imminent to the squared circle. It was reported back in late December that WWE officials received instructions to come up with some creative ideas.
That was executed well on last night’s SmackDown as Reigns received helping hands in the form of his own family members.
