The fans chant “Sami Uso”. Zayn says he wants to talk about what happened at Crown Jewel and that kick to the face was not on purpose. He tells Roman the only reason he showed up at Crown Jewel was for Jey and he would love to say the only reason he was there tonight was because of Jey. Zayn says that’s not true. Zayn says it has been a long time since he and Roman have been in the ring and he thought about all of the things he would say or do to him but at Crown Jewel when it was the four of them, for just a minute, it was special.
Zayn says it took him back to a very special time in his career and life. A special time with family. He says he won’t lie, even though there has been a lot between them, there is a part of him that still has a soft spot for the time the four of them were together in the Bloodline. He says he knows Jey, Jimmy and Roman felt it too. And he knows because Roman is standing there right now. Zayn says on some level, Roman wants all of this back. The thing is that people think the opposite of love is hate but it’s not. The opposite of love is indifference and he does not think Roman is indifferent to him. He thinks Roman loves him. Roman smirks and Zayn says he sees Roman smirking, it is still there. He remembers the old days just like everybody else and it could be like that.
He tells Roman the ball is in his court. If Roman wants him to turn around, leave and not be part of Bloodline business again, he will do it. But he doesn’t think that’s what Roman wants, he thinks he wants the four of them fighting together side by side. And if that is what Roman wants, he will do it. He just needs Roman to do one thing for him.
Zayn asks Roman to apologize. Roman tells Zayn that Zayn wants him to apologize? Zayn says the apology is not to him. He wants Roman to apologize to Jey. The fans chant “Yeet” and Roman ponders in the ring. He approaches Jey and he tells him “I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I ever let you waste my time with this. He is not in our family. He is not blood, he is not honorary, he is no Uso. It is not about him, it is about Solo. Bring your ass out to the ring right now and let’s handle business”.
Zayn gets on the ring apron, speaks to Jey and he leaves.
We see Jacob Fatu on the tron. He tells Roman it has been so long since he has been Tribal Chief. He says there’s the Tribal Chief and there is everybody else. And Solo is their Tribal Chief, for Roman to go to the back of the line. When you tell Solo to move, he won’t move. Solo moves at his own time. And at the end of the day, Roman will acknowledge that.
