This week’s SmackDown started as a long footage from last week’s main event was shown where The Usos confronted Roman Reigns and ultimately the Tribal Chief made his decision when he kicked out Jimmy Uso out of the Bloodline. The fate of Jey Uso would be decided by tonight.
As the show started Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa were seen standing inside the ring. As Heyman was about to introduce himself to the WWE Universe in his usual style, music of the Usos hit and Jey Uso came out to the arena. He grabbed a mic, enter the ring and confronted his younger brother Solo Sikoa.

Jey unleashed his anger on Solo for betraying Jimmy last week on SmackDown and said whatever he did was not right. Heyman said that it was not solo’s fault, neither anyone else’s fault, if someone had to be charged guilty it was Jimmy himself. The fans started booing Heyman pretty loud.
Heyman said that Jimmy pulled the trigger for himself and Jey. He did not ask Jey before doing what he did. Heyman tried to manipulate Jey against his own twin brother. At the end Heyman said that Jimmy is jealous of Jey because The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns wanted to groom Jey as the next Tribal Chief.

Heyman said that he could prove it. He then announced that on behalf of Roman Reigns, he would put him in a huge match tonight and he would bring back gold to the Bloodline, but not as a tag team anymore. Tonight he would face Austin Theory for the United States Championship.
Heyman continued that after he got to win the United States Championship, Roman Reigns would publicly groom him to be the next Tribal Chief when the time is right. He then handed the mic over to Jey, and demanded an answer right now. Jey thanked Heyman for the United States championship match. Heyman then offered a handshake, Jey said that he would get back to him on that and left the ring.
Match 1 – Money in the Bank qualifying match – Santos Escobar defeated Mustafa Ali
The first match of the night was booked for six minutes and it was a pretty good match. LA Knight was on the commentary table during this match for some reason, maybe they are trying to present him as a legit threat for the upcoming ladder match. Escobar pinned Ali with a Phantom Driver.
