The Usos have finally stepped out of Roman Reigns' shadow. After years of manipulation and being under the Tribal Chief's thumb, the Bloodline crumbled on SmackDown and the WWE landscape will never be the same.
At the end of the show, Roman returned and demanded that Jey become his Right Hand Man. Jimmy was the only one opposing this move and was visibly upset. In a very emotional moment, Jey revealed the truth - that he's been trying to escape his brother's shadow their entire lives.
But before tensions could escalate any further, Jey made a shocking announcement: "Guess what? You're out… and I'm out too!" With that, he laid out Roman with a Superkick, fighting off younger brother Solo Sikoa and delivering another Superkick for good measure.
The prospect of The Usos vs Roman and Solo at Money In The Bank on July 1st has the WWE Universe buzzing - the reaction would be off the charts.
The show also featured a Gauntlet Match to determine the next challengers for Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn's Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles. Pretty Deadly emerged victorious, earning a massive win to set themselves up to face Sami and KO on SmackDown in London on June 30th. After their celebration, the champs interrupted and tensions flared in a brilliant back and forth on the mic.
Zelina Vega picked up a win over Iyo Sky after Bayley distracted the referee, costing her Damage CTRL teammate the victory. The two friends rowed backstage, with Shotzi interrupting and challenging the Role Model to put her Money In The Bank spot on the line next week, with Iyo accepting for mentor.
The focus was then on Charlotte Flair and her issues with Bianca Belair. The EST of WWE interrupted proceedings and staked her claim for a match against Asuka for the WWE Women's Title. Bianca pointed out that she was the longest running Women's Champion of the modern era and didn't need that many to do so, before vowing to be at ringside for Flair's match with Asuka in two weeks time.
Karrion Kross and SCarlett picked up a win over The O.C.'s AJ Styles and ‘Michin’ Mia Yim. Santos Escobar and LA Knight then laid out their motivations for winning Money In The Bank, before the LWO star earned a surprise victory over the loudmouth with a victory roll.
All of this leads us to what could be one of WWE's most intense rivalries yet. It's clear that the Usos have stepped out of Roman Reigns' shadow and will be sure to make an impact in the coming weeks. With Money In The Bank on the horizon, the WWE Universe awaits to see what the future holds.
