WWE Friday Night SmackDown Results

Tampa, Florida (Yuengling Center)
Commentary: Michael Cole and Pat McAfee
Results by: Roy Nemer of Wrestleview.com

WWE SmackDown kicks off with Jey Uso in the ring. He says they call him the right hand man, main event Jey Uso. Last week, his brother disrespected the head of the table. This week, he leaves them no choice but to handle some family business. With that said, he introduces the head of the table, the tribal chief, the man who will defeat Cesaro at WrestleMania Backlash, his cousin, the Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.

We see a clip of last week’s SmackDown involving Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Roman Reigns and Cesaro.

Out comes Roman along with Paul Heyman. All three men stand in the ring. Roman says they have some problems. He looks at Jey and tells him one of them is his brother. And they’ll get to him in a minute but he will talk about Cesaro first. Roman says he likes him, like a lot of the guys, he respects Cesaro. He’s a top tier talent. They could say he’s one of the best wrestlers in the whole world.

Roman tells Paul that he is so much more than just a wrestler. He’s the tribal chief, the head of the table. There’s no way Cesaro can fulfill the roles that he has. There’s no way WWE want Cesaro in his place. SmackDown doesn’t want that. Fox doesn’t want that. Reigns asks how many world heavyweight championship matches has Cesaro had. Heyman says zero and rightfully so. Reigns asks Heyman how many he has had. Heyman says his people are good with numbers and that number is 39.

Reigns looks at Jey and says it was simple. Jimmy got to see how it works. As he is talking, Jimmy’s music hits and out he comes. Jimmy says he is out here and all he can hear is Roman running his mouth while his brother acts like his bitch. Jimmy is wearing a “Nobody’s Bitch” shirt and tells Jey he has one for him in the locker room. And he’s not sure if their boy will make it passed Cesaro.

Jey gets heated. Roman says if they’re all about family, they’re all about him for everything he has done for their family. Jimmy says Roman might be part of the family but he is not all of it. Roman says to backtrack. He asks Jimmy if he thinks he can’t beat Cesaro. Jimmy says since he is asking, no, he doesn’t think he can beat Cesaro. Roman says but Jimmy can, he can fill his shoes.

Jimmy says no but together he and Jey can. If they win the Tag Team Championships and Roman loses his Championship, they would be the head of the table. Roman says that’s now how it works, that’s not their position. He is what he is and they are what they are. He is the tribal chief. Five time WrestleMania main event. He carries the burden of the company, he is the face of the company.

Roman asks Jimmy if he thinks he can do what he does. Roman tells him to do it, to do what he does. Represent like he represents. Take the Universal Championship and defend it against Cesaro tonight. Roman asks Jimmy to show them that he can beat Cesaro. Jimmy smiles and he challenges Cesaro to a match. Jimmy looks at Roman and asks if that was good.

Out comes Cesaro. He says of course, challenge accepted. He tells Roman that he will beat Jimmy tonight and on Sunday he will defeat him for the Universal Championship.
