Live reports from this taped edition of SmackDown warned of a serious injury to Jey Uso. Perhaps those weren't the most reliable sources because when the show finally aired, this came off as a fairly obvious planned spot.

Chad Gable used nefarious tactics (considering he's supposed to be the babyface) when he chop blocked brother Jey. Kudos to him for really getting in there with this move. Jey didn't have to try hard to pull off some contortionist-level selling. Gable then slid under the ring as if nobody would notice before emerging out another side. Gable then came back into the ring to celebrate the countout win with his partner, Shelton Benjamin.

This looks like the early seeds for a heel turn for Gable. Perhaps he and Shelton will end up feuding with each other? Considering their athletic abilities, that should be a fantastic pairing.
