Following their return from a month-long hiatus from the ring, The Usos joined this week's show. They were asked many things, including what it was like being back alongside Roman Reigns. They felt that "you pick up right where you leave" claiming that it wasn't really hard to back up their cousin.

Woods was on stage for the interview and praised his multi-time opponents because "we have great chemistry" and it was great to "bring storytelling back into the tag division."

Moon praised how in the rivalry between the New Day and The Usos that "every match was killer and every match was different" including ladder matches and one inside of Hell in a Cell. The Usos claimed that they "tried to top each other each time" as opponents often do.

Since Booker T was instrumental in The Usos' development as pro wrestlers, their time in his Reality of Wrestling promotion prior to WWE was discussed. The two-time Hall of Famer claimed that when they were in ROW, he wanted to "change the Samoan lineage" in wrestling." He also wanted to move in a "totally different direction" with the Usos instead of the previous trope of Samoan wrestlers always "coming out barefoot."

Jimmy and Jey were also asked about their time off from the WWE and what they learned. They claimed that "you almost get tunnel vision on the road" and that "we didn't slow down and almost had to get away from it."

Booker added that sometimes it's hard to "understand what you got and how quick it can be gone in a quick moment." Jimmy and Jey also revealed that since today's youths are so much further ahead then the previous generation that "you can't play dumb" about your missteps as an adult. Their kids "are old enough to see through any lies so we have to be accountable and be leaders."
