Roman Reigns returned to the WWE last week at the season premiere of SmackDown. Right from the get-go, he was confronted by an angry LA Knight who wanted to snatch his championship away from him. At the same time, Reigns was upset with his cousin Jey Uso being tag team champions with his arch nemesis Cody Rhodes.
Hence the task of taking the belt away from them was assigned to Jimmy Uso. And while leaving the room, Jimmy Uso fist-bumped Reigns and said “Yeet”, something that The Usos often said when they were a tag team. But The Tribal Chief didn’t like that word one bit and immediately told Jimmy Uso to stop doing it. Well someone paid close attention to that and this time around made the entire arena chant “Yeet” just to get on the nerves of Roman Reigns.
After SmackDown ended, there was a match between Jey Uso and Drew McIntyre. And as always, Jimmy Uso came in to spoil the party and started attacking Jey Uso. He wanted to take revenge on Jey for brutally attacking him earlier that night.

But LA Knight came to the rescue of Jey Uso and kicked Jimmy Uso out of the ring after delivering a brutal BFT. Post that, Knight made each side of the Frost Bank Center shout “Yeet” to decide who was the loudest. Fans know very well that Knight was doing this purely to irk Reigns who dislikes the term.
