This week’s Friday night SmackDown was a rollercoaster ride. With Jey Uso finally showing up after two weeks and sharing a moment with Sami Zayn in Roman Reigns’ absence, yesterday’s SmackDown show was enthralling from the very beginning to the end.

Roman Reigns makes a big decision
After a couple of weeks of the silent treatment, Jey Uso, at last, came out to support his twin brother Jimmy Uso and appeared on SmackDown this Friday to successfully defend their SmackDown tag team title against Ricochet and Braun Strowman.
However, his allegiance to The Bloodline still looms in the dark as fans also saw Jey Uso talking to Zayn and fist-bumping him. Jey even asked Zayn to take off the show before he gets hurt again. As The Head of the Table was not present during yesterday’s SmackDown episode, fans are suggesting he saw the Sami Zayn-Jey Uso segment on TV.

This may be the reason The Tribal Chief asked Paul Heyman to convey the message to The Usos to stay home and watch Elimination Chamber on television. Fans believe that this move from Reigns was to expose Jey Uso in the eyes of his brother Jimmy. The replay of the Sami Zayn- Jey Uso backstage segment might catch Jimmy’s eye as it caught Reigns’ eye.
The WWE fans have shared their take on this matter. Here are the top comments.
