5 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Mar 3)

2. The Jey Uso Question

There's something outrageously-good about Roman flicking that switch. He's able to go from calm, measured Bloodline boss to angry, disappointed and threatening overseer in an instant, and the way guys like The Usos, Paul Heyman and Sami Zayn have sold that over the past 12-18 months is sensational.

Jimmy nailed his facial expressions again during backstage skits with the 'Chief'.

Reigns turned the heat onto him by saying he'd hold Jimmy personally responsible if Jey didn't turn up to explain himself next week. That suggested Jim might get some of the same medicine Kevin Owens and Sami did between Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber if he isn't careful.

Damn, they're getting every single story beat of this Bloodline drama bang on. Jey will apparently rock up to SmackDown for a little explanation next week, and that gives the show quite the major hook. Roman suckering Jimmy in then scaring the sh*t out of him worked perfectly.
