SmackDown saw Roman Reigns team with The Usos against Edge, Rey, and Dominik Mysterio in a six-man Tag Team Match. The Bloodline picked up the victory, but Reigns was left laying by The Rated-R Superstar on SmackDown. The Universal Champion even tapped out prior to their match at Money in the Bank.

As he was heading backstage, some fans chanted "You suck" at him. This led to an incensed Roman Reigns flipping the bird to the crowd. The above video, from a fan in attendance, captured the moment.

While Vince McMahon's reaction to this is not yet known, it did add to The Tribal Chief's evil persona. The hate that has been showered on Reigns has been lovely to see, as he further grows as the greatest villain in recent WWE history.

Pat McAfee was ridiculously over in Houston, with the loud reactions for him being showcased during a charismatic promo from SmackDown's color commentator. He has been an energetic presence on the blue brand for the past few months and his actions last night proved it.

The former American football player cut a promo during a commercial break before Shotzi and Tegan Nox's tag team match against Natalya and Tamina, as can be seen in the above video. McAfee hyped the crowd up pretty well and caused them to boo fellow SmackDown commentator Michael Cole.
