Tonight’s SmackDown kicked off with the anticipated match between The Usos and The Street Profits, and it would be the first match back together since Jimmy Uso returned from injury. The intrigue started even before the match did, however, as Roman Reigns spoke to both Usos backstage, asking them what their intentions were and what their long-term plan was. Jimmy was adamant that it was just to win and looked forward to all of them having some gold to represent the family. Once Jimmy left, Roman asked Jey if he felt the same, and he said he was with Jimmy right now, but he was still with Roman always.
