After defeating Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa at WWE Money in the Bank, The Usos took to social media to announce that the ‘Tribal Chief’ would be put on trial on the 7/7 edition of SmackDown, emanating from Madison Square Garden.
The ‘Tribal Court’ had previously been called by Roman Reigns, putting Sami Zayn on trial on the RAW 30 special in January. Despite attempts by Reigns and Paul Heyman to take Zayn out of the Bloodline for his actions leading up to the segment, Jey Uso presented evidence that Sami had been loyal to the group over the past six months, ultimately preventing Zayn from being forced out.
