Throughout WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns tried to turn Jey Uso’s attention away from his brother. However, Jimmy Uso was a little too pumped up as he requested Adam Pearce for a shot at the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Reigns wanted Jey to continue following his orders rather than chasing the SmackDown tag team titles with his brother.

In the main event of SmackDown, Dominik and Rey Mysterio were all set to defend their titles against Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. However, WWE decided to repeat the storyline from WrestleMania Backlash, as this time, Rey got jumped by The Dirty Dawgs and was left writhing in pain backstage.

Dominik had to come out to defend the titles all by himself, and he took a lot of punishment from the heels throughout the match. Ziggler and Roode played perfect heel characters as they pushed around the young superstar and took him to the edge.

Rey appeared late in the match, and his distraction allowed Dominik to capitalize and retain the gold. After the bout, The Usos hit the ring and talked trash to the victorious champions.

Backstage, Reigns watched on and seemed quite unhappy with these developments. SmackDown seems to be working towards a major angle that could make or break The Usos.

The storyline involving The Tribal Chief and his cousins is set to take a big turn in the weeks to come. WWE has done increasingly well to keep fans interested in Reigns and his family over the past several months.

Meanwhile, The Usos and The Mysterios' feud could spell the end of the father-son duo's current SmackDown Tag Team Championship reign in the long run.
