Jey Uso came out to the stage to watch Roman Reigns deliver a Spear to Strowman during the final moments of the main event of SmackDown.

Reigns told his cousin to come down to the ring as he waited with a steel chair in hand. He told Uso that he didn’t want to hurt him just like Strowman before he hit The Monster Among Men with several vicious chair shots.

Then, Reigns put the chair down and turned around to give Uso a chance to hit him. Uso refused at first but then took him down with a Superkick. He then picked up the chair and started going down on Reigns before the officials pulled him back.

While Uso was subdued, Reigns saw an opportunity and knocked his cousin out with a Superman Punch.

This was a good closing segment for SmackDown progressed the story between Reigns and Uso and kept it fresh. While we didn't expect their rivalry to stretch for this long and become so exciting, SmackDown has managed to get the best out of both Superstars.
