5 Things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Possible spoiler for Kevin Owens-Fiend-Alexa Bliss storyline, Major mistake made with future World Champion? (2nd October, 2020)

#1 Roman Reigns dictates the highest of stakes on SmackDown

Roman Reigns and Jey Uso

Roman Reigns opened SmackDown to be crowned as the Tribal Chief, but it didn't go the way he wanted. Roman Reigns had no interest in Paul Heyman calling him that. He only wanted his cousin Jey Uso to tell him that.

He continued his brilliant character work on SmackDown, justifying what he did to Jey Uso, who told him in turn that he revealed his true colors. It looks like we're going to see the two cousins locked inside Hell in a Cell, but Roman Reigns mentioned that their match will be for the highest of stakes.

Now we can't be sure what the highest of stakes is, but it's going to be interesting to see how this storyline plays out on SmackDown. It's been among the best storylines that the brand has had in months.

Jey Uso also faced and defeated AJ Styles in phenomenal fashion. It's safe to say that he's ready to take on Roman Reigns again, but he isn't an exception to delusion, since he claimed that he would have been Universal Champion had his brother not thrown in the towel.

Just great character work overall.
