During Friday night’s episode of WWE SmackDown, we saw the implosion of Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso take place, as it has become apparent that Jimmy Uso is not on the same page as Reigns or his brother, Jey Uso. Tensions rose after a back-and-forth argument that led to Reigns telling Jimmy to put up or shut up, placing Jimmy in a match against Cesaro in the main event of SmackDown as a way to prove a point that Reigns is carrying their family on his shoulders.
Cesaro went on to defeat Jimmy Uso by disqualification after interference from Reigns and Jey Uso. This led to an argument between Jimmy and Reigns. Jimmy tried to walk out but Reigns stopped him on the entrance ramp, only to have Cesaro attack Jey Uso in the ring and deliver two Neutralizers. You can check out some highlights from the segment and match below:
