1. Jimmy Uso Is The “Tribal Chief”

What a line this was.

During the main event interview skit, Jimmy Uso interrupted Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to tell the world that he's the "Tribal Chief" of Bloodline business; certainly of The Usos. Paul Heyman, who had come out first before The Usos, was aghast at Jimmy's choice of words. His facial expressions? Iconic.

Of course, Roman was out next to pretty much ask what the hell Jimmy is playing at. A brawl ensued, and the show ended with Reigns holding some tag-team belts aloft. Jimmy didn't want to give the straps to his cousin after downing KO and Sami, but Jey stepped in to keep the peace.

It looks like there's something massive coming at both Night Of Champions and come Roman's 1000 day title celebration next week. This, ladies and gents, could realistically be the actual implosion of The Bloodline. What a ride it's been.

Top class storytelling overall.
