The Bloodline & Jey Uso Segment
Solo Sikoa: Columbia, South Carolina. Acknowledge Me. Y’all better get used to seeing this, because you’re looking at the present and the future. You’re looking at The Bloodline. And you’re looking at The Tribal Chief. You see, I’m the man that created a bigger and stronger family. I’m the man that created a bigger and stronger bloodline. Yeah, I did. And Roman Reigns can’t do nothing about it. Jimmy can’t do nothing about it, neither. Oh, and then check this out, Jimmy goes over to Monday Night Raw, and tries to get Jey’s help, but Jey don’t want nothing to do with it, either. No YEET. These beatdowns will continue to happen to Roman Reigns, unless he does one thing. Unless he comes down to the ring, by the end of the night, and he acknowledges me.
Jey Uso: What’s up, little brother? It’s been a minute. I promise, I’m not out here to fight you, because at the end of the day, I still care about you, you’re still my little brother. Look, Jimmy and Roman aren’t here yet, so I came out here to talk to you, one-on-one, uce-to-uce. Brother, think about what you’re doing. Think about what you’re doing to the family. Think about what you’re doing to The Bloodline. Nobody has bigger issues with Roman than I do, but dividing the family like this, it ain’t it. I left the family, uce. I left to be my own man. I left to Raw. Man, I became the Intercontinental Champion, little brother. YEET. Look though. Yes, I did. Look, uce, fighting over the Ula Fala, though, is not it. That, right there is earned, not taken, you know better. But if you want to end Roman’s power, then do it, but just don’t divide the family while you do it.
Solo Sikoa: Are you done wasting my time? You come out here, and you YEET, YEET, YEET. Who said anything about dividing the family? I’m not trying to do divide the family, I’m trying to unite the family. And stop calling me your little brother. I’m your Tribal Chief, now. And I’ll always have a place for you and Roman in my Bloodline, but all you have to do is acknowledge me. You see, I don’t want you to follow in Jimmy’s footsteps, because look where it got them. So, are you in or are you out?
Jey Uso: Hey, look, if what you’re saying is true, and you want to unite our bloodline, then why did you have to go out and get them? Why did you have to go get them, uce? Tama? Tanga? Why did you have to go get Jacob? There’s a reason why we stayed away from him. And if he keeps staring at me like that, I’m going to knock your ass out. Forget that, I’m not here for that, forget all that. Next time I see you, uce, it’s going to be different. YEET.

Cody Rhodes Promo
Before my remarks, we have an unbelievably sized crowd this evening. I wanted to just make sure that our friends up there, we all say hi to our friends up there. Our friends down here, we say hi to all of them. A very wise individual recently said to me, when it comes to the pantheon of top men and top women in professional wrestling, who would be the next leader. He said that the next one doesn’t always look like the last one. It’s a quote I’ve been thinking quite a bit, lately. But in regard to this, Crown Jewel Championship, it’s not about the next one, it’s not about the last one, it’s about who is going to be the first one. So many what ifs in the history of our sport. I’ll take you down that road. What if NWA Worlds Champion Harley Race fought the WWWF’s Bruno Sammartino? What if the AWA’s Nick Bockwinkel went against “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, champion versus champion?
What if WCW’s Bill Goldberg fought Stone Cold Steve Austin? And often when these what ifs did come through fruition, the outcome was not always satisfactory, a clever out, if you will. When it comes to Crown Jewel, at the end of that night, there will be a definitive Crown Jewel Champion. Again, champion versus champion, I’m not going to stand here and disparage my opponent, Raw’s World Heavyweight Champion, GUNTHER. Widely respected by his peers and legends alike. Brother can chop down a tree with his bare hands. Most men who walk down those hallways are terrified of GUNTHER. I’m not. But even if I was, I wouldn’t bet against me. Why do I think I’m leaving Crown Jewel as champion? Well, for starters, look at this thing. Corey Graves has been talking about it all night on commentary. One of the most beautifully designed title belts in the history of our sport.
But beauty is only skin deep. In the last two plus years, you and I, the WWE audience, pro wrestling fans alike, we’ve gotten to know each other, have we not? So, you know, when I came back to WWE, I wanted to take the John Cena schedule, I wanted to take that model. And by god, did we take that schedule, and we even added to that schedule. I’ve bled, I have sweat, I have paid the price, and I’m not foolish enough to think I’m done paying the price. But again, it’s almost skin deep. The real reason I think I’m leaving Crown Jewel as champion, she’s sitting at home, right now. She’s about 3 Foot tall, and I need her to know, that when my bones turn into dust, my name is attached to this title, as its first champion, I need her to know that the name was given to me, is the same name that was given to her, and it will matter. And she will know, you play the game not to lose, but you play to win. Now, I would like to invite, next Friday on SmackDown, the World Heavyweight Champion, GUNTHER to stand in this ring with me. I would like to ask him what his reasons for all of this are. And I would like to look him in the eyes, and say, hey, champ, what do you want to talk about?
Kevin Owens Promo
I have been in WWE now for about 10 years. Actually, it’s been over 10 years. And I’ve had a lot of ups and downs over those 10 years. I don’t think things have ever felt as bad as they do, right now. Because for WWE Officials to tell me to stay home, and not come to work, not come to SmackDown where I belong, because what I did to Cody Rhodes after Bad Blood, is just so unfair and ridiculous. I mean, look at what we’ve seen WWE Superstar do to each other in and out of the ring, in the locker rooms, the ambush, the beatdowns, and I get told to stay away because I drop their little golden boy outside of his stupid bus. Come on.
You know, it really makes me ask myself just how appreciated and valued I am by this company. But, you know, I can live with and I can kind of get past that. But what I can’t get over is what Randy Orton did to me. Randy, I can’t believe that you betrayed me like that. You know, you can let people say whatever they want about how Kevin Owens turns on friends, it doesn’t matter. I would have never done that to you, ever, because I thought what we had was different. Dude, I just can’t believe you picked Cody Rhodes over me. And I got to be honest with everybody. With everything that’s happening, right now, between the disrespect shown to me by WWE, Randy breaking my trust like that, I really don’t know if or when I’ll come back.
– Randy Orton tells Nick Aldis that he needs to get his hands on Kevin Owens. And perhaps he should have that fight at Crown Jewel. Nick says that this is something that he can’t do, right now. Randy is not asking for permission. He wants a match with Kevin Owens. Nick says that the decision was made from the higher ups. Randy knows who he needs to talk to.

Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, The Bloodline Segment
Roman Reigns: Columbia, South Carolina. Maybe for the last time. Acknowledge Me. Earlier tonight, I heard that you told Jey that our family is stronger now. You told Jey that our Bloodline was stronger now. I don’t see it. I don’t see anything that tells me we’re better off now. If anything, we’re divided and broken. After everything we’ve been through, everything we went through in the spring, everything that we lost through the Summer, and we stand divided like this? Solo, I told my father that I can fix this. All I want to do is put us back on the promise land. I want titles around our waist. I want paydays coming from the heavens. I want abundance. I want our family to be priority. Tell me what I have to do to fix this.
Solo Sikoa: What you have to do? That’s an easy fix, Roman. What do you have to do to fix this? I’ll tell you what, all you have to do is acknowledge me.
Roman Reigns: I acknowledge you. There, I acknowledge you. Does that make you feel better?
Solo Sikoa: No. Roman, that’s not good enough. I need you to acknowledge me as your Tribal Chief. I need you t acknowledge me as your Tribal Chief or else.
Roman Reigns: Or else what?
