Jimmy Uso shocked the WWE Universe last week when he openly defied Roman Reigns, and he continued his stance this week, with Cesaro once again coming out on top over the family that reigns over SmackDown.

At the start of tonight’s episode, Jimmy once again came out to interrupt his brother and cousin. Donning a “Nobody’s Bitch” shirt, Uso explained that he’s all about family, but doesn’t think Reigns can beat Cesaro at WrestleMania Backlash, and said that everything isn’t about him. After Reigns demanded that Jimmy challenge Cesaro to a match, he did, and Cesaro quickly came out to accept.
During the match itself, things seemed to be going Uso’s way for a bit before Cesaro quickly caught on fire. Towards the end of the match, Cesaro hit Uso with a deadlift superplex before Reigns and Jey Uso came down to the match, interfering and causing the bout to end abruptly. An incredibly angry Jimmy yelled at Roman that he could’ve beaten Cesaro, but Reigns followed after him in the ring and up the ramp, saying that no one cared about these exhibition matches anyway.

As the two were arguing on the ramp, Cesaro got back into the ring and promptly began ambushing Jey Uso. Reigns got into the ring and hit Cesaro with a Superman Punch, but Cesaro was able to fight them off, hitting both Reigns and Jey with uppercuts before hitting Jimmy Uso with a superkick to knock him back down to the mat outside of the ring. As Reigns scrambled to leave up the ramp, he watched as Cesaro hit two Neutralizers on Jey Uso, who screamed that this would be Reigns on Sunday at WrestleMania Backlash.
