Last week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown featured the fallout from Money in the Bank 2023, witnessing the ‘Tribal Court: The Trial of the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns’ segment and its aftermath.
Dave Meltzer, speaking on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, noted that the SummerSlam program between Jey Uso and his former Tribal Chief, the Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns, will directly lead to a feud between Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa going forward.
It was noted that the fallout from the Jey Uso/Solo Sikoa feud will likely further escalate tensions between Roman Reigns and Solo.
“Well, I think the obvious thing is, you know, that Jey’s losing to Roman. And so Jey and Solo can have a big feud afterward, and Jey can get a big win over Solo with something that Roman does to cost Solo the match, which builds up the split between Solo and Roman, right? And then you’ve got the direction there and leading into whatever you’re doing for WrestleMania. So, I mean, it’s a very simple, basic booking. I mean, there’s nothing, there’s no, you know, swerves being thrown in. They don’t make any sense. I mean, you don’t know exactly where it’s going, but you kind of have an idea where it’s going, and it is going in that direction,” said Meltzer.
