WWE SmackDown Results: Roman Reigns falls; huge debut; Kevin Owens to potentially leave WWE

The Bloodline kicked off WWE SmackDown, and Solo Sikoa got on the mic, asking the crowd to acknowledge him. Jey Uso showed up from the crowd and said that he wanted to speak to Solo one-on-one since he still cared about his little brother.

Jey asked Solo to think about what he was doing to The Bloodline and their family and that the Ula Fala was earned, not taken. Solo said Jey was wasting his time and that he was uniting, not dividing. Sikoa added that Jey should stop calling him little brother since he was the Tribal Chief.

Solo asked Jey to acknowledge him and join them, but Uso asked why he brought in Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. There was a reason they stayed away from Fatu, and the latter was about to attack Jey, but Solo held him back. Jey said that he wasn't there for a fight, but the next time he saw them, it would be different.
