#2. Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins lit up the night on WWE SmackDown

After a great opening segment on WWE SmackDown, Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins took on The Usos in the night's main event. The high-stakes match saw both teams fight for to gain an advantage for the upcoming Royal Rumble match.

The Usos dominated the action early and worked over Owens. Rollins came off a hot tag and took down the brothers. KO returned to the ring and delivered a fisherman buster from the top rope for a near-fall, only for Jey to break up the pin.

KO and Rollins were fantastic as a team in the contest and delivered some great moves. The two RAW Superstars were the highlight of WWE SmackDown on Friday night.


#1. Roman Reigns caused a disqualification to protect The Usos

Kevin Owens delivered a stunner to Jey Uso before tagging Seth Rollins back into the match. The Visionary prepared to hit The Stomp, but Roman Reigns stopped him in his tracks. He hit Rollins with a Superman Punch to cause a disqualification and awarded the win to KO and Rollins.

The Tribal Chief glared at Rollins as the show went off-air. The result means that The Usos will be banned from ringside for the Universal Championship match at Royal Rumble.

WWE did well to protect both teams in the finish. The Usos nearly failed Reigns, but it looks like The Tribal Chief may have written the final chapter of his title reign on his own. Not having Jimmy and Jey by his side could be the beginning of the end for Roman Reigns' supremacy.
