SmackDown opened with Jey Uso introducing Jimmy Uso. The latter stood in the same position as last week, telling his brother not to be Roman Reigns b**ch while sporting a shirt that said "Nobody's B**ch".

Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns had the same argument from last week, with the former claiming that The Tribal Chief couldn't beat Cesaro without Jey Uso's help. Ultimately, it set up the main event between Jimmy and the Swiss star. But there was one big problem - the segment went on for too long.

From advertisements to general video packages in between, it felt like the segment was 10 minutes longer than it needed to be. This isn't to say that the main rivalry on SmackDown has been bad, but having such segments makes no sense, unless there is a sense of continuity.

In this case, the first segment on SmackDown seemed to drag on forever, which was a big mistake that WWE made despite putting on a great show.
