SmackDown continued to be the Roman Reigns show with equal emphasis being given on Jey Uso's tremendous transformation as a believable singles Superstar.

Roman Reigns pulled the strings throughout the night and helped his cousin pick up another win against a former World Champion in Kevin Owens in the show's main event.

Kevin Owens and Jey Uso will compete on team SmackDown at Survivor Series, but the Prizefighter richly deserves a title feud in the future.

The immediate plan after Survivor Series would be the scheduled Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan storyline. However, as Dave Meltzer noted in the recent Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Kevin Owens is one of the shortlisted opponents for Roman Reigns.

This week's events on SmackDown hinted towards WWE's plans to have Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns in a Universal Championship storyline.

Kevin Owens' babyface work is right up there with the greats and Roman Reigns is currently the best heel that WWE has created in a very long time. The dynamics of the feud are perfect, and it could lead to must-see TV.

Owens has settled for various mid-card and upper mid-card angles in recent months, and it's high time that he gets promoted to a higher level once again.
