During the segment, The Uso Twins moved toward the ring intending to help out their cousin, but a surprise return ruined their thoughts.
They were soon joined by Rey and Dominik Mysterio, who backed up Edge.

Edge sent a message to Roman Reigns
In more news from this week’s Talking Smack, WWE Hall of Famer Edge promises to conquer Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank for the Universal Championship. He promises to destroy the empire that “The Tribal Chief” has built up for the past year. To do that, the current challenger for the title has been dipping into some dark waters as of late.
This is the same Edge that some fans perhaps rooted to get back. This is the same man who could go to any level to accomplish whatever he wants to become.
“I need to dip into a different place. And I need to get there when there’s a particular talent in front of me. Throughout the years, I think I’ve been able to find that place, and it can be a dangerous place to find the line between good and evil. It’s paper-thin,” The Ultimate Opportunist stated. “And there are certain talents that cause me to have to cut through that paper and bring out a side of Edge that isn’t really healthy for me and for a lot of other people. Some talents like The Undertaker, talents like John Cena, talents like Roman Reigns.
