WWE SmackDown kicks off with Jey Uso in the ring as Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman walk down. We see a clip of the Hell in a Cell WWE Universal Championship match where Roman Reigns retained his Championship.
Back in the WWE ThunderDome, Heyman tells Jey he is so happy as Jey grabs the microphone from his hand. Jey tells Roman he did not beat him. He knows him, Jey says Roman isn’t that type of person. He didn’t beat him. Roman tells him he can make all the excuses he wants, he can feel any way he wants. Roman asks what he told him? He said he was going to make him quit and that’s what Jey did.
Roman tells him to take the oath and accept the membership and fall in line. Jey says just like when they were kids, Roman always one upped him. Jey says he doesn’t respect him. Jey tells Roman he used the only person in the world he would say he quits for. He knew what he was doing. Roman says he did and how could he not? Roman tells Heyman that Jey still does not understand. Roman says these are the things he has to do to keep the Championship. He tells Jey he doesn’t understand the burden of being the face of WWE.
Reigns tells him that the consequences are real. He saw his dad and every one backed him when they were on stage. And if Jey doesn’t fall in line, he is out of the family. And if he were in Jey’s position, he would be angry too but what can Jey do? What is he going to do? What can he do? Jey tells him he hates him as he starts to break down. Roman tells him he is sure he does right now. Roman tells him he loves him, he always loved him. But he will say it for the last time, by the end of the night, he will fall in line.
Roman puts his arm on Jey’s shoulder and drops the microphone as he and Heyman leave the ring.
I say this every week but this is Roman's best promo. He just keeps getting better and this is the best Roman Reigns we have ever seen. If they could get The Usos to join Roman Reigns in a family stable, this could be great if done right. #SmackDown

A good effort by both Ziggler and Owens. I can't be excited about anything by Ziggler, at all. Happy for Owens. I could see another Owens push. #SmackDown

Rey and Dominik are never going to forgive him. Rey and Dominik are never going to accept him as he is and they’re never going to accept what ever is going on between them. The reason why he came out was that even though Rey and Dominik won’t accept him, he will.
Rollins gets in the ring and he tells him he will accept him and forgive him. And he not only does he accept this relationship, he embraces it. If he wants Seth to marry them right now, he will. There’s a place for all of them in the greater good. He accepts them both. it doesn’t matter to him what her last name is. He can see it in her eyes, she can start to understand the truth to this situation. He’s not the bad guy here. Her father has forced his hand.

Braxton is backstage with Daniel Bryan and Bryan says Jey the past few months has taken Roman to the limit. And Roman has not been able to beat Jey and who ever wins tonight will be best for SmackDown at Survivor Series.
I refuse to comment on this Rey, Dominik, Aalyah, Murphy and Seth Rollins thing. The only thing I will say is Rey's Versace sweat shirt is the nicest one worn by anyone from the Mysterio family. #SmackDown

-Commercial Break-
Sasha Banks is in the ring with a chair. With the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship around her waist, she says you know what they say, don’t talk the talk unless you could walk the walk. And at Hell in a Cell, she did just that. She tells Bayley that she did what she told her she would do and that was take the Women’s Championship. She thanks Bayley for stabbing her in the back as she finally ended an era. She was her best friend, the were supposed to take over the company. She thought she was her sister but when she took the chair and tried to end her career, she realized it wasn’t their friendship that was unstoppable. It was her.
Banks says she is the leader, the standard and she is the boss of Friday nights and the brand new SmackDown Women’s Champion. And now that Bayley is in her past, she goes one on one against Asuka at Survivor Series. And there is no doubt in her mind that she is the best of the best.
Out comes Bayley who tells her that the entire world knows that she can win a Championship but she can’t hold on to win. She talks about her reign as Champion. Bayley says Sasha never legally beat her for it. She forced her to sign the contract. She’s fair, she will do Sasha a favor because she knows, everyone knows that she can’t beat Asuka without her in her corner. And next week, she challenges her to a match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. And she wants her to enjoy her short yet predictable 13 day title reign. Because next week, ding dong, trick or treat, it ends.
Sasha tells her she hopes she brings all that she has because backstabbing bitches never win.
Sasha Banks against Bayley next week on SmackDown? Anyone else think this ends in a no contest? This feud between these two just won't end. #SmackDown
