Universal Champion Roman Reigns laid out his cousin Jey Uso on the final episode of SmackDown before their title match at Clash of Champions.
After tension between them following tag matches in back-to-back weeks, a face-to-face discussion with Reigns and Uso headlined SmackDown’s go-home show for Clash of Champions. Uso said earlier in the episode that he wanted to know what the look Reigns gave him last week was all about, but Paul Heyman told him they’d be doing things on Reigns’ time and not when Uso wanted it.
Reigns said he’d give Uso the Universal title if he could, but the truth is Uso wouldn’t even know what to do with it. Reigns said Uso doesn’t understand the responsibility and pressure that comes with being the face of WWE. For Uso’s entire life, he’s depended on his brother. Reigns said Uso has been one half of the greatest tag team of their generation and their family is so proud of him for that, but their family depends on Reigns and relies on him to be the tribal chief. Reigns said Uso will never be that. It’ll always be Reigns.
Uso responded by asking Reigns what if he’s wrong. Uso wanted to know why he can’t be the one to provide for their family, his wife, and his kids. Reigns has been on top for his whole life. But when people have seen Jey, they’ve just asked him which Uso he is. Uso promised that will change after Sunday and people will know him as the person who defeated Reigns for the Universal Championship.
As Uso was heading to the back, Reigns laid him out with a Superman punch. Reigns said their family relies on him to be Universal Champion and Uso won’t take that from him. Reigns told Uso that he can get his pay-per-view payday and the ass whooping that comes with it, but he’ll never take Reigns’ title or his place at the head of the table.
