Roman Reigns reacts to Jey Uso becoming the No. 1 contender for his Universal Championship

This week on Friday Night SmackDown, a massive fatal four-way match was scheduled to determine who will challenge Roman Reigns for his Universal Championship at WWE Clash of Champions.

During the show, Sheamus took out Big E backstage thus forcing Adam Pearce to look for someone to replace him in the main event. Earlier, we saw Jey Uso appear on SmackDown and meet his cousin Roman Reigns backstage. After Big E was attacked, Jey asked Roman to pull some strings and get him his place and Paul Heyman managed to do so.
