The Usos lost their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 39. They also failed to regain the titles in a WrestleMania main event rematch held on 04/28 SmackDown. Ever since then, Roman Reigns has become distant from them.
Reigns unwilling to trust his cousins, stepped forward to bring back the tag team titles home. Thus, he pulled some strings and got himself and Solo Sikoa a shot at the titles at WWE Night of Champions. This news stung The Usos like a bee.
At last, Jimmy Uso finally snapped on SmackDown and hinted at a potential coup against ‘The Head of the Table’.

Jimmy Uso stands up to Roman Reigns
On the 05/26 edition of Friday Night SmackDown, fans saw a fight break out between The Bloodline and The Undisputed Champs during a show segment. The Anoa’i Family were the last men standing after Sikoa handled the business and cleaned out the floor.
Though The Bloodline stood tall, further breaks in the family were witnessed as Jimmy Uso partially disobeyed Reigns. Toward the end of the segment, Jey Uso handed the tag team titles to Sikoa as a sign of respect and acknowledgment to the potential-future tag team champions.
But Jimmy Uso got reluctant to do so. He hesitated to hand over the titles to ‘The Big Dog’. Luckily, before the latter was further aggravated, Jey Uso stepped up to save his brother from the wrath that might have befallen him. He took the titles from his twin brother’s hand and gave them to his cousin.
Jimmy @WWEUsos just couldn't do it. 😮💨

But how did it all happen? Why did the fight break out in the first place?
Jimmy Uso snaps on SmackDown
A day before their NOC showdown, ‘The Prizefighter’ hosted a KO Show on this week’s blue brand episode. His special guest for the show were ‘The Head of the Table and ‘The Street Champion’. However, when the show segment began, Paul Heyman came out to the stage whereas the show guests were nowhere to be seen.

The Wiseman announced that The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion does what he wants, so he will come out to the ring whenever it pleases him. Just as he was about to speak further, The Usos interrupted him. They went up to the ring to confront the tag team champs.
Both parties got involved in a heated confrontation. A shocking moment came when Jimmy Uso got provoked after Owens called him and his twin brother Reigns’ errand boys. And in a fit of anger, he proclaimed himself as ‘The Tribal Chief’.
