WWE SmackDown Live Coverage 7/7 – Roman Reigns Goes To Tribal Court, Edge Returns

Jey says The Usos are now in New York before Jimmy says it feels good. He says people said to them that Roman Reigns couldn’t be beat, and Jey says that’s exactly what happened on Saturday.

Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa then appear on the ramp, and Heyman introduces himself. He says he will serve as defense for Roman Reigns, and The Usos tell him to pipe down. Heyman says The Usos don’t get to tell him when to stop talking because only one man can do that. Sikoa then puts his hand over Heyman’s mic and cuts him off. He grabs it out of his hand and tosses it onto the mat before staring down his brothers.

Roman Reigns’ music then hits, and “The Tribal Chief” makes his way down to the ring.

Back from the break, Reigns tells Madison Square Garden to acknowledge him. He says while he got pinned on Saturday, the last time he checked, he was still “Tribal Chief”. He says neither of The Usos can call themselves that, and says he’s having trouble understanding why he’s here tonight. He says Tribal Court isn’t official unless he calls for it, and asks The Usos who has the authority to call him out and put him on trial.

Jey says himself and Jimmy won’t be manipulated like they always are, then throw it to Exhibit A: a video of Reigns yelling and mistreating The Usos and Paul Heyman for their perceived wrongdoings on a number of occasions.

Reigns defends himself and says the person in the video is not who he is. He says he was forced to be that way, and denies that he wanted to do any of that. He tells Jimmy, Jey, and Sikoa that he did it for them, then says he didn’t need The Bloodline. He says he put himself in situations for his cousins, and says The Usos compiled footage of his worst moments to embarrass him. He says he has enough responsibility as is, and says he didn’t need the responsibility of caring for Jimmy and Jey’s families. He says he doesn’t want or need the responsibilities of “Tribal Chief” anymore, and says he’s done.

Reigns tells Jey the title is his if he wants it, then takes off his lei and places it around Jey’s neck. He rips off the title across his waist and tosses it aside, then gets on his knees in front of Jey and begins crying. He then blindsides Jey and low blows him, which leads to Jimmy beating him down. Sikoa tosses Jimmy off Reigns and levels him with a Samoan Spike, then picks up the lei and looks to reluctantly hand it over to Reigns. Jey jumps Reigns before he can, but Sikoa catches him with Spinning Solo. Reigns then levels Jimmy with a Superman Punch.

Both of The Usos are dumped to the outside. Sikoa clears the announce desk as Reigns beats down Jimmy. Jey tries to help his brother, but Sikoa takes him out and ties him up in the ropes, forcing him to watch what’s about to happen to Jimmy. Reigns tells Jey he will never be “Tribal Chief”, then picks up his title and clocks Jimmy with it. He then repeatedly hits him with it and grabs the ring steps. He clocks Jimmy in the face with them twice and holds up the one symbol.

Jey breaks free and attacks Reigns, but Sikoa takes him out with a Samoan Spike and tosses him over the announce desk. Reigns tells Sikoa to finish The Usos, and Sioa drapes Jimmy on top of it. Officials head out to try and gain some order as Sikoa stands up on top of the barricade. Sikoa hits Jimmy with a Frog Splash, leaving himself, Reigns, and Heyman standing tall. Heyman then drapes the lei around Reigns’ neck and Reigns holds his title above his head.

Back from the break, we see Jimmy loaded into an ambulance with Jey closely following him.

Back at ringside, Sheamus heads down. Austin Theory follows.
