What an opening six-man tag WWE pulled out for Houston. Roman Reigns teamed with The Usos to take on Edge, Rey and Dominik Mysterio in a match that felt like the right (in-ring) kick off for SmackDown after Vince's cameo dig. The atmosphere was electric from beginning to end.

Also, the impossible just happened. WWE successfully booked a roll up finish that yours truly won't bitch and moan about like a spoiled child who's sick of playing with the same toys. Jimmy Uso clocked Rey with a forearm behind the ref's back, then Jey Uso hooked the tights for the pinfall win.

Good. Heels should cheat.

This was a roll up victory done right. Jimmy and Jey conspired to show off some telepathic twin sh*t, and they now hold a win over the reigning SmackDown Tag Champs. That spot was everything the tepid Shotzi and Nox win wasn't. It fits The Usos.
