In-Ring Segment: The Bloodline
Roman Reigns tells the crowd to acknowledge him. This is a special night. Tonight we get the pleasure of watching the Usos. Tonight everyone will acknowledge the Bloodline. Reigns tells his Wiseman to tell us why. Heyman says this is the single greatest night in tag team wrestling. Reigns is the GOAT, the greatest of all time. It doesn’t matter who you put up against him, you can stand them all up and they would get stacked up and smashed by Reigns. What will it take for the Usos to be the greatest tag team of all time?

They are descended from the Wild Samoans so it would be disrespectful to call them the greatest tag champions of all time unless the Usos do something the Wild Samoans never did: unify the Raw and SmackDown tag team championship. The Usos will become the unified champions or they will not be allowed back on the island of relevancy at all. Heyman give Reigns the mic back. Reigns tells Jimmy and Jey that they know what he wants. He expects them to deliver. The reason he has these expectations is because he loves them. Reigns and both Usos embrace. Jimmy and Jey are locked in.
