SmackDown started with Roman Reigns as it almost always does, and the tension between him and Jimmy Uso seemed to reach a boiling point. It was Jimmy who got a big introduction, and he still refused to acknowledge Roman Reigns despite seemingly wanting an alliance.

The former tag team champ was away from the ring for more than a year, and in his big return match, he faced the Universal Title contender Cesaro. The bout, unfortunately, ended in a DQ after Roman Reigns' interference.

Ultimately, Cesaro stood tall on the night after attacking Roman Reigns and The Usos and hitting the neutralizer on Jey. Cesaro stood tall on the go-home episode of SmackDown to WrestleMania Backlash, which means that his loss is a guarantee.

We're not sure as to whether this match will headline the upcoming pay-per-view, but given how much better the build has been on SmackDown, the brand deserves the main event spot.

Cesaro is a great Title challenger, but he will ultimately fall to Roman Reigns as others have before on SmackDown.
