The Edge-Roman Reigns storyline on SmackDown got hotter this week. Edge once again wanted to call out Roman Reigns, but once again got an Uso (or more accurately, both of them).

Following Jimmy's real-life issues, it was surprising that WWE didn't write him off instantly. Instead, he was heavily featured throughout SmackDown, to the point where he now officially seems to be on the same page as his brother and his cousin.

The Usos tried to do Reigns' bidding by storming Edge's locker room, but The Rated-R Superstar wasn't there. This was moments before his confrontation with Seth Rollins.

Edge eventually went out to call Roman Reigns alone, and the Universal Champion told The Usos to stay put while he attended to business. The Usos, thinking it was a trap, appeared in the final segment against Roman Reigns' wishes.

They were close to interfering, but The Mysterios appeared out of nowhere and attacked the brothers with a steel chair. They assisted Edge in taking out The Usos while Roman Reigns watched on helplessly from the ramp.

Not that he made any effort to stop it. Reigns merely watched as Rey Mysterio assisted Edge who shoved a rod inside both Usos' mouths. It was a strong message sent and a tease of a six-man tag team match for SmackDown. If so, Edge and Rey Mysterio's will reunite as a tag team after 19 long years. It won't be a permanent one, but it should be nostalgic.
