WWE SmackDown
– Jimmy Uso had trouble contacting Jey Uso, who hadn’t been seen since he walked out on The Bloodline at WWE Royal Rumble. Paul Heyman told him he’d have to defend the titles by himself. Jimmy then went to the ring for his scheduled SmackDown Tag Team Championship match against Ricochet and Braun Strowman. He was seemingly by himself, but right before the match was set to start, Jey Uso came down through the crowd. The brothers embraced, proving that they were on the same page. Despite an impressive performance by Strowman and Ricochet, The Usos retained the gold.

– Paul Heyman opened the show and addressing the way the Island of Relevancy is under attack by both Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes. He called Zayn “psychopathic rebel” and questioned the idea that he could possibly defeat Roman Reigns. Heyman also discussed Reigns’ feud with Rhodes. He stated that without the titles, there is no Roman Reigns. Zayn snuck into the ring and demanded a microphone. He made it clear that he could attack Heyman if he wanted to, as no one was there to protect him. Zayn stated that Reigns’ days as the champion are numbered. He claimed that The Bloodline is on its way out. Zayn then vowed to beat Reigns at WWE Elimination Chamber.

– Lacey Evans scored a dominant win over local competitor Carmen Harress (B3CCA).
– After The Usos retained their titles , Jey made it clear that he had Jimmy’s back, but when Jimmy asked him if he was “in,” he said he didn’t know. Jey later bumped into Sami Zayn, who admitted that he put Jey in a tough spot. He noted that he doesn’t think Roman Reigns will forget what Jey did at WWE Royal Rumble. Zayn said he knew Jey wanted to see Reigns go down. He told him he didn’t have to go down with the ship. Sami said he acknowledged Jey, and Jey gave him a fist bump.
