WWE universal champion Roman Reigns displayed his dominance once again when he viciously attacked his cousin Jimmy Uso on Friday night SmackDown.

After the Usos defeated Reigns and Solo Sikoa at Money in the Bank last weekend, a Tribal Court was announced for SmackDown. Everyone thought that Roman’s time as a ‘Tribal Chief’ was coming to an end due to the Usos’ departure from the group. (Alprazolam)

In the last month or so,the Bloodline faction has crumbled and tensions have been high and this Friday, we expected another ‘Civil War’ to breakout and they didn’t disappoint.

Before Roman Reigns’ arrival, Paul Heyman told the Usos that he will serve as defence for the ‘Tribal Chief’ but Solo was in no mood and only wanted to face off against his twin brothers once again.

Eventually Reigns made an entrace to explain why he took the role as the ‘head of the table’. He questioned the legitimacy of the Tribal Court before submitting and acting as if he was handing his role of Tribal Chief to Jey. While on his knees, the champion delivered a low blow on Jey Uso and then went on a full attack on Jimmy, sending him to the hospital.
