5 Things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Wrong superstar chosen for MITB match, Unexpected face turn after 7 years?

#1. Edge and his Universal title pursuit on SmackDown

A lot was going on this week on SmackDown with regards to the Universal title picture. The face of SmackDown, Roman Reigns, however, wasn't present. This was a bit disappointing, but Edge's presence more than made up for it.

Edge blamed Daniel Bryan for his loss at WrestleMania and told Roman Reigns that he knew he could beat him. Meanwhile, Jimmy Uso told Paul Heyman that he was going to call out The Rated-R Superstar in the main event. That's what happened, but the outcome was the opposite of what he would've wanted.

Earlier, Edge showed the somewhat comical footage of him nearly submitting Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 37 when he used a steel bar inside his mouth. History repeated itself as he did the same to Jimmy Uso.

But that was after Edge told Jimmy that just like his brother Jey, he was being used. It was a sudden shift for Jimmy Uso, but if he is taking on a role similar to his brother's, a similar outcome is expected.

Meanwhile, Seth Rollins laughed at Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville for not giving him a Universal title shot. Instead, they announced that next week on SmackDown, Seth Rollins will face Cesaro to determine the final entrant to the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match.

"You will get your opportunity to win the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and cash in the contract IF you beat @WWECesaro next week in a #MITB Qualifying Match." - @SonyaDevilleWWE to @WWERollins #SmackDown @ScrapDaddyAP#SethRollins: pic.twitter.com/7bYjtkhV3o
