Jey Uso once again found himself in the centre of brother Jimmy Uso and cousin Roman Reigns’ power struggle on Friday Night SmackDown. Along with this battle on Friday night, on the show Usos team up for the first time in more than a year.
This team not only won their first match against the Street Profits in a blockbuster tag team main event but also secured their position for next week’s championship match.
The success did not leave Roman Reigns happy, the universal champion was seen fuming all night what seem to be control of his family slipping away.
The Usos started the event excitedly, as they were teamed up together again after a year. The Usos defeated The Street Profits via pinfall. The last move was played by Jimmy Uso as he hit Montez Ford with a superkick. Before the match, The Profits sent the Usos into a rage by taking shots at ‘the family’.
This mocking continued during the match as well. The match was longer than a normal title match, including many huge moments like Ford dive over the corner post onto Jey on the outside of the ring. Jey however managed to pull Jimmy outside the ring as Ford was ready for a frog splash. This allowed Jey to hit a superkick which resulted in the win of the Uso brothers.
Later, Jimmy Uso asked Adam Pearce to give them a title match next week.
Dominick Mysterio fought against Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode after his father Rey Mysterio was attacked backstage and overcame The Dirty Dawgs in a heroic style.
