For the first time in the Roman Reigns and Jey Uso rivalry, we saw the latter’s wild side. This week on SmackDown, Roman Reigns defended his Universal Championship against Braun Strowman.
After an intense and hard-hitting battle, The Big Dog retained his championship. Post the match, Jey Uso walked out to the ring. As Uso was approaching, Heyman handed a steel chair to Reigns.

The Universal champion pointed at Strowman and told Uso that this was how they eat and take care of generations of the family. If he’s not at the top, they can’t put food on the table.
Post this statement, Reigns rammed Strowman with a steel chair. After destroying an already diminished Braun, Reigns warned Uso of similar consequences at Hell in a Cell.

Uso then entered the ring, and Reigns dropped his chair, asking his brother to have a swing at him. As Reigns turned his back and waited, Uso didn’t strike him and threw his chair down.

Looking at Uso’s reluctance to attack, Reigns laughed at him. That’s when we saw a new Jey Uso. He dropped Reigns with two big right hands.
The challenger yelled about the mutual love between the cousins. Uso then picked up the chair and pounded Reigns with multiple chair shots to the back.

However, as officials pulled Uso back, Reigns took advantage and delivered a superman punch. Reigns left Uso’s carcass in the ring, walking out as the dominant ‘Tribal Chief.’
