Even though Roman Reigns is very clearly a heel on WWE SmackDown, now that he is aligned with Paul Heyman, he hasn't yet turned on Jey Uso. As good as a match between two men on the same page as gifted as Roman Reigns and Jey Uso can be from a competitive standpoint, if Roman Reigns was to turn on his cousin on WWE SmackDown, it would just make the match at Clash of Champions feel even more special.
It is still very difficult to buy into the idea of Roman Reigns as a heel, even though he has shown up late for his clashes on pay-per-view and WWE SmackDown, wrecked everyone and left. But for him to turn on his cousin, right before a major pay-per-view match would be compelling television and would instantly make WWE SmackDown the superior show this week, considering the massive outcry on social media about how badly WWE has handled the whole Retribution angle.
