WWE SmackDown kicks off with Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman making their way down to the ring. Roman says he believes in being direct in how he is feeling. By the end of last Friday, he was not happy. But having a full week to think about it, he has changed his position on this tag team championship opportunity that his cousins The Usos have.
Roman says it’s not secret he is the centerpiece and it all revolves around him but he allowed this to happen. But to be clear, Jimmy, he said it last week and he is probably feeling it now. But if he says he is going to win, he better win. Roman says not to waste anymore time, there’s a lot on his place and he has things he has to do. He calls Heyman Wise Man and asks him to get him his cousins. Heyman turns to the timekeeper and tells him to play their music.
Out come The Usos. Jey hugs Roman as Roman tells Jimmy it’s his turn to acknowledge him. Jimmy says he already did at Hell in a Cell but tonight is about being 7 time Tag Team Champions. It’s about making the whole family proud, they are going to be new champions. Roman tells them good luck, they called the shots, he gets that but he gets the job done. If they say they’re going to win, to make sure they win. Roman says their whole family is watching and to get the job done. He tells them to bring him the titles when it’s over.
