5 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Oct 23)
Team Hell KO.
Name the wrestler staring down Roman Reigns above.
No, it's not Jey Uso. It's actually his brother Jimmy - The Usos pulled the proverbial wool over Roman's eyes on this week's SmackDown, and it made for a glorious finale leading into this Sunday's Hell In A Cell pay-per-view special. Not only was the segment smart, but it also had some pay off.
Critics will point out that Reigns' much-touted "consequences" boiled down to a last-minute 'Loser Leaves Town' stipulation. Instead of leaving WWE though, both Usos will be banished from the Anoa'i family should Jey say "I Quit' inside the Cell on Sunday.
Maybe that'll lead to a jump over towards Raw's tag-team division? This writer hopes not, because Jey has been fantastic throughout this recent push, and The Usos would be a huge loss to Friday nights.
Elsewhere on SmackDown, one worker got renamed (again), another got squashed, WWE continued their silly legal wranglings, a new tag-team got formed and someone had a banner breakout night he can be proud of. Ready for those 'Ups' and those 'Downs'?
Here they are...
