#1: Jey Uso unleashed his brutal side; Kevin Owens openly called out Roman Reigns on WWE SmackDown
Jey Uso went beyond his way to help out Roman Reigns at WWE Survivor Series against Drew McIntyre. But it would have been out-of-character for Reigns to acknowledge that he needed someone else's help to get things done.
This is why Reigns criticized his cousin and brought up the fact that no one listened to Jey Uso during the traditional tag team Survivor Series match because they don't respect him.
Jey wanted to impress Reigns after their segment. He ambushed Daniel Bryan backstage, as mentioned earlier. Jey also attacked Otis when the latter made his entrance for a match against King Corbin.
Kevin Owens couldn't take it anymore after Uso jumped Bryan, which is why The Prizefighter was booked in the main event match against Jey Uso. The bout ended in a disqualification when Uso attacked his opponent with a steel chair. But Owens was able to turn the tables with a Stunner.
Roman Reigns watched this play out from his locker room, as The Prizefighter looked into the camera and sent a clear message that he is not afraid of Roman. It became more than apparent that Reigns and Owens are set to clash for the Universal Championship sooner rather than later, perhaps even at WWE TLC.
Daniel Bryan was effectively taken out of the Intercontinental title scene and replaced by Big E, which means that Bryan will probably feud against Roman Reigns and Jey Uso as well.
WWE could even book a tag team match where Reigns and Uso team up against Bryan and Owens. But as of now, it looks like both Owens and Bryan will face Roman Reigns in separate one-on-one matches around the TLC or Royal Rumble season.
