Jimmy Uso produced some of the most spirited moments of the tag-team match between The Usos and the tandem of Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson on SmackDown. After receiving the hot tag from his brother Jey, Jimmy was on fire and that deserves to be rewarded with a big match on Raw.

Earlier, Shane and Stephanie McMahon would have realised this, making a bout between Jimmy and AJ Styles to close out the show. Providing guest commentary, Roman Reigns would oddly talk up Styles to Michael Cole, JBL and Byron Saxton. Questionably appearing like a babyface, Reigns would show his true colours later.

Incredibly, even with Gallows, Anderson and Jey Uso all around ringside, the match would end relatively clean. AJ has to pick up the win, it doesn't make sense to have him lose. Afterwards, Reigns would enter the ring to apparently shake hands, before hammering Styles.

The Usos would keep Gallows and Anderson busy, giving Roman ample time to brutally batter his Extreme Rules opponent around ringside. Meanwhile, the announcers would scream over their mics that Reigns has softened AJ up before Sunday's show.
