Last week on Smackdown, Jason Jordan scored a quick victory over Jey Uso with a roll-up. This week, Chad Gable and Jimmy Uso were in action against one another, and the bout was also short - the problem is that this time, it felt rushed.

Gable and Uso did some athletic stuff, with Gable dominating the wrestling side and even doing a bit of flying. Eventually, though, Uso took Gable down and covered him and Jey - out of sight of the referee - stuck his legs in the ring, put his feet on his brother, and pushed. That offered extra leverage on the cover, and Gable couldn't kick out.

It was actually a pretty clever finish, but the fact that the bout lasted just a couple of minutes and the entrances were cut out made it feel like an afterthought. A decent amount of time would have made things feel more important, but this didn't do much.
