Normally, this guy hates all of the crossover between Raw and SmackDown stars, but The Bloodline story is probably WWE's best exception to that moan. It's important to the company as a whole, and so it doesn't come across as cheap when someone flies in for special appearance here or there.

That's what Jey Uso did on Friday night.

He showed up during the opening promo from Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline troops, then told his little brother that he needs all of this family separation to stop. It's clear that Jey isn't on Team Roman and Jimmy just yet, so it made sense to have him ask for answers from Sikoa first. That was a cool tease for Jey vs. Jacob Fatu as well.

This segment was a nice way to open up the show and lay all of The Bloodline's cards on the table. Jey went from confronting Solo to being a little more dismissive of Reigns and Jimmy, but even a blind man can see there are WarGames connotations to all of this.

Bring it on.
