We see clips of last week’s show involving Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso fighting The Bloodline. We see clips of Raw with Jimmy trying to convince Jey to join them but Jey refusing.
The Bloodline and Jey Uso
The Bloodline come to the ring and loud chants of “OTC” from the fans. Solo tells the fans to acknowledge him but they boo. A loud “Solo sucks” chant and Solo tells them they are looking at the present and the future. He says they are looking at The Bloodline and The Tribal Chief.
Solo says he is the man who created a bigger and stronger family. He created a bigtger and stronger Bloodline. He says Roman and Jimmy can’t do anything about it. He says even Jey doesn’t want anything to do with them. The fans chant “Yeeet” and he tells them “No Yeeet”. He says that the beat downs on Roman will continue unless comes down to the ring by the end of the night and acknowledges him.
Jey’s music hits and he shows up in between the fans. He walks down the steps and gets into the ring.
Jey looks at Solo and tells him it has been a minute. He tells him he promises he is not here to fight because he still cares about him and he is his little brother. Jey tells him that Jimmy and Roman are not here yet and he came out to talk to him one on one. He asks Solo to think about what he is doing to the family and The Bloodline.
He says no one has bigger issues with Roman than he does but dividing the family is not it. He left to be his own man, he became Intercontinental Champion. Jey tells him that fighting over the ula fala is not it, that is earned not taken and Solo knows better. But if he wants to end Roman’s power, to do it but not to divide the family while he does it.
Solo asks him if he is done wasting his time. Solo says he is not trying to divide the family, he is trying to unite the family. He tells Jey to stop calling him his little brother, he is his Tribal Chif now and he will always have a place for Jey and Roman in his Bloodline. All he has to do is acknowledge him.
He says he doesn’t want him to follow Jimmy’s footsteps because look where it got him. He asks Jey if he is in or out. Jey tells Solo if he is trying to unite The Bloodline, why did he have to go and get Tama Tonga, Loa and Jacob. Jey says there’s a reason why they stayed away from Jacob and if Jacob keeps looking at him, he will have to knock his ass out. Jacob gets in Jey’s face but Solo stops him.
Jey says next time he sees Solo, it will be different. He tells him yeeet and throws the microphone, leaving the ring.

Cody looks at the Crown Jewel Championship and he says it’s about who is going to be the first one. Many what if’s in the history of the sport. What if the NWA World’s Champion Harley Race faced the WWWF Bruno Sammartino. What if the AWA’s Nick Bockwinkel faced off against Ric Flair. What if WCW’s Bill Goldberg faced off against Stone Cold Steve Austin. He says at Crown Jewel, there will be a definitive Crown Jewel Champion. He says Gunther can chop a tree down with his hand and most men are terrified of Gunther but he isn’t. And even if he was, he wouldn’t bet against himself.
He says to look at the belt. It’s one of the most beautifully designed title belts in the history of the sport but beauty is skin deep. Over the last two years, he and the fans have gotten to know each other. When he came back, he wanted to take the John Cena schedule and they did take it and added to it. But it is almost skin deep. The real reason he thinks he is leaving Crown Jewel as champion is sitting at home right now.
Cody says she is about 3 feet tall and he needs her to know that when his bones turn to dust, his name will be attached to the title as first champion. And his name is the same name given to her and you play the game not to lose but you play to win. He says he would like to invite Gunther to SmackDown next Friday to stand in the ring with him. And he would like to look at him in the eyes and ask him what he wants to talk about. Cody drops the microphone, his music plays and Cody looks at the crowd.

We cut to Nick Aldis and in comes Orton. He tells Aldis he needs to get his hands on Owens and he is going to do it at Crown Jewel. Aldis says he is sorry and it is not something he can do right now. It’s not that he won’t, he can’t. Orton says he is not asking for permission. Aldis tells him he is saying he can’t do it because it is coming from up above. Orton tells him that he knows who he needs to talk to and he walks away.
