The main event for SmackDown’s season premier saw Solo Sikoa take on LA Knight. Fans were excited to see this match as this was the first challenge to The Bloodline that Roman Reigns would witness post his return to SmackDown. Sikoa obviously wanted to please the Head Of The Table by laying waste to Knight, but Knight had other plans.
Also, Jimmy Uso’s rash involvement in Sikoa’s match might have upset Reigns who already didn’t seem to favor him.

Jimmy Uso has been running his mouth and creating unnecessary feuds for The Bloodline in the absence of The Tribal Chief. He even went on to attack AJ Styles 3 weeks ago sending him straight to the hospital. Even as Reigns returned to SmackDown, Jimmy tried to pitch himself as the “Quarterback” for The Bloodline.
Reigns then reminded him that Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes being the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions was an insult to The Bloodline. And insisted that he take care of that immediately. At the main event for SmackDown, LA Knight had an upper hand for most of the match against Sikoa.
Then Jimmy Uso tried to interfere but his plans were foiled by John Cena. This gave Knight a perfect opportunity to deliver his classic BFT to Sikoa and seal the victory for the night. Obviously, that didn’t go down well with Reigns who popped out of nowhere and speared Knight post his victory. But Reigns was furious as Jimmy cost Sikoa a prized win against Knight. Could this mean Jimmy being removed from the faction by Reigns in the coming days? Fans will have to wait and see.
But prior to the main event, Roman Reigns came face to face with his Ex-Arch Nemesis.
