This week’s WWE SmackDown featured a confrontation between two versions of The Bloodline and a new Women’s Title has been officially announced.

It was SmackDown at the Keyback Center in Buffalo, New York with Michael Cole and Corey Graves on commentary.

Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso made their entrance together. Jey Uso was up next and he told Reigns to hear him out. That led to Sami Zayn, who was greeted with “Sami Uso” chants. Zayn spoke to Reigns saying that kick to the face wasn’t on purpose. Zayn said that the only reason he showed up at Crown Jewel was for Jey. Zayn said that he would love to say the only reason he’s out there tonight is because Jey asked him tonight, but that’s not true. Zayn said that it’s been a long time since he’s been in the ring together with Roman. Zayn said that at Crown Jewel when it was the four of them for just a minute, it was special. Zayn talked about how it took him back to a special time in his career and a special time in his life with family. Zayn said that even though there’s been a lot between them, he still has a soft spot for the four of them together in The Bloodline. Zayn said he knew they all felt it too. Zayn said he knows because Reigns is standing there right now.

Sami Zayn said that on some level, you want all of this back. Zayn said that people think the opposite of love is hate, but it’s not because it’s indifference. Zayn said he didn’t think Reigns was indifferent to him because he thinks Reigns loves Zayn. Zayn pointed at Reigns while claiming that he was smirking and said it was still there. Zayn said that you remember the old days just like everybody else. Zayn said it can be like they used to be when they were in the SUV and they can run all of that back. Zayn said he’s going to put the ball in Roman’s court. Zayn said if Reigns wants Zayn to leave then he’ll do it. The fans booed that. Zayn said he doesn’t think that’s what Reigns wants because he thinks Roman wants all of them fighting together side by side and if Reigns wants that, Zayn will do it. Zayn said he wants Reigns to do one thing to him: Apologize.

Reigns replied saying Sami wanted Reigns to apologize to Zayn? Sami said it’s not for me. Zayn wanted Reigns to apologize to Jey. Reigns looked at Jey: “I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I ever let you waste my time with this.” Reigns told Jey that Zayn is not in their family, he’s not blood, he’s not honorary and he’s not an Uso. Reigns said that this is not about him because this is about Solo. Reigns called for Solo to bring his ass out to the ring right now so they can handle business. Sami walked away.

Jacob Fatu appeared on the video screen saying that Solo Sikoa is their Tribal Chief, so Reigns is in the back of the line now. Fatu said that Solo moves on his own time, so at the end of the day, Reigns will acknowledge that. Reigns was shown frustrated in the ring with The Usos while Zayn was in the aisle.

After a break, Roman Reigns was shown walking backstage with Jimmy Uso. Jey Uso said he wanted to talk to Reigns. Jey said he wanted Reigns to hear him out. Reigns said that Zayn is nothing to them. Reigns told Jey to go find him if he loves him so much. Jey said if Reigns talks to him like that, Jey is out. Jey told Reigns that’s his one pass. Jey left. Jimmy wondered what Reigns was doing and Reigns told Jimmy to go find his brother, but then Jimmy went in the other direction.

Match #1:Bayley defeated Candice LeRae by pinfall. LeRae faked a knee injury. LeRae tried a rollup, Bayley was ready for it and Bayley sat on top while holding onto the legs for the pinfall win.

Johnny Gargano walked up to the Motor City Machine Guns and said it was great to see them in WWE. The Machine Guns said thanks for that while saying they enjoyed facing #DIY. Gargano wished them good luck in their match tonight. After the Machine Guns left, Tommaso Ciampa walked up to Gargano wondering what that was about. Gargano said that he’s known those guys since he was 19 years old and thought of Alex Shelley like a big brother to him. Ciampa said that they took their spot and took #DIY’s titles. Ciampa said they’ll make an example of Pretty Deadly and then they’ll let the Guns know they will be taking their titles back.

Randy Orton said that Crown Jewel was only the beginning. Orton called out Kevin Owens, even said a swear word that was muted and said that he was going to whip Kevin’s ass in front of the whole world right now. Kevin Owens appeared with a “Kevin Is Right” shirt. Owens shoved WWE Producer Petey Williams and Owens went down to the ring. Kevin Owens got into the ring with Randy Orton and they exchanged strikes. There were WWE Producers in the ring along with officials. Owens kicked Orton in the gut and Owens gave Orton a piledriver. It was a very safe move while Cole was screaming about how there’s a reason a piledriver is banned. Cole: “What the hell is wrong with you?” Smackdown GM Nick Aldis went down to ringside to check on Orton. Referees were checking on Orton, who was holding his neck. Owens went over the barricade and walked to the back. The announcers used SERIOUS VOICES~! to talk about it. They showed a replay of KO’s piledriver and once again it was very safe with KO’s butt taking the move. Cody Rhodes had joined the others in checking on Orton. The EMT’s put Orton on the stretcher. It looked like the EMTs were indy wrestlers rather than actual EMT’s, but that’s WWE for you. Randy Orton was wheeled into an ambulance and Cody Rhodes said he was going with him. They put Orton into the ambulance and Cody went in there with the EMTs as well. The ambulance drove off.

Match #2: #DIY – Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano defeated Pretty Deadly – Kit Wilson & Elton Prince by pinfall. Ciampa attacked both Pretty Deadly guys. Ciampa beat up the PD guys on the floor. Back in the ring, Gargano wanted a tag, but Ciampa wouldn’t do it. Ciampa hit the Fairytale Ending on Prince for the win.

Tiffany Stratton approached Candice LeRae in the backstage area. Stratton mocked LeRae for losing to Bayley while LeRae mentioned Stratton lost to her as well. Nia Jax walked up to Stratton complaining about being in a tag team match. Stratton said if they beat Bianca & Jade then they’d be in line for a title shot and they’d rule the women’s division. Jax said she already rules the women’s division. LeRae said if she was at Crown Jewel then Jax would have won.

Match #3: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill defeated Nia Jax & Tiffany Stratton by pinfall. Candice LeRae showed up at ringside, Jax was on the apron, referee Robinson was distracted by that and LeRae shoved Belair down. Stratton hit a double foot stomp on Belair. Naomi fought with LeRae at ringside. Stratton was on the turnbuckle yelling at LeRae so Belair knocked Stratton down there. Naomi went after LeRae with punches, Jax knocked Naomi down and Jade superkicked Jax. Belair hit KOD on Stratton for the win.

Match #4: Motor City Machine Guns – Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley defeated A-Town Down Under – Austin Theory & Grayson Waller by pinfall. The Guns hit their Skull & Bones (neckbreaker/splash combo) move for the pinfall win.

The Motor City Machine Guns team was shown walking backstage when #DIY showed up. The Street Profits showed up B-Fab saying that they’ve got next. They are getting a WWE Tag Team Title match next week on Smackdown in Milwaukee. Ciampa was furious, complained about it and left. The Profits and Guns exchanged words with the Guns saying they came to WWE to face the best. Angelo Dawkins said we’ll see how they handle the pressure.

The Smackdown GM Nick Aldis was featured in a video package backstage. Aldis introduced the new WWE Women’s United States Championship saying it will be earned by whoever is willing to go above and beyond. Aldis said that opportunity knocks, so it’s time to answer and make history. Cole and Graves talked about how great it is for women to have a new championship to compete for.

The women of WWE continue to show that they are the very best in the business. The Women’s United States Championship will showcase their continued effort.

In the main event segment, Solo Sikoa told Buffalo to acknowledge him, which led to boos from the crowd. Roman Reigns made his entrance and the fans loved that. Reigns made his way into the ring with Solo’s version of The Bloodline. Solo said before he makes the fans acknowledge him, he needs Reigns to acknowledge Solo as the Undisputed Tribal Chief. Reigns asked Buffalo if they acknowledged him and the fans booed that thought. Reigns said neither does he. Reigns told Solo he would never acknowledge him. Reigns said he was there to challenge him to a one-on-one match where the winner is the only Tribal Chief. Solo laughed it off saying he didn’t need to fight Roman because he’s already the Undisputed Tribal Chief and all these people acknowledge him. Solo told Reigns that he can’t be a Tribal Chief when there’s no tribe. Solo challenged Reigns to find four people in the locker room that will team up with him and they can go to war. Solo said that they are ready for war.

Reigns said are you talking about WarGames? Reigns said he only saw four of them. Solo counted his four guys in the ring while calming his fifth guy was his dog Sami Zayn. That led to Zayn appearing in the aisle and Solo said that Sami kicking Reigns was on purpose and claimed it wasn’t an accident. Reigns got attacked by The Bloodline while The Usos went down to the ring to help Reigns. Fatu hit both Usos with superkicks on the floor. Solo called Sami down to the ring and Solo told Sami to kick Reigns in the face. Zayn thought about it, then he charged and Zayn nailed Solo with a Helluva Kick to the face. The fans loved that. Faut went into the ring, so Reigns hit him with a Superman Punch. Zayn hit Fatu with a Helluva Kick that knocked Fatu out of the ring. Reigns hit a Spear on cousin Solo, who bumped out of the ring.

The foursome of Reigns, Zayn, Jey and Jimmy were in the ring. The fans chanted “Sami Uso” again. Jey held up his finger in the air, Jimmy held up his finger in the air, Sami held up his finger in the air and the fans popped huge for that. Reigns also held up his finger in the air. The fans popped huge as Reigns, Zayn, Jey and Jimmy stood together in the ring with their fans in the air. Cole said it seemed like we have the original Bloodline set to do battle together at Survivor Series: WarGames. Sami hugged Jey in the ring while Reigns looked out at Solo with his group on the floor. That was the end of the show.
