So much happened in the main storyline on SmackDown! The advertised match was Cesaro vs Seth Rollins in a WrestleMania rematch. Jimmy Uso returned to SmackDown after a year away, and his dynamic with Roman Reigns has entirely changed.

After a ringside altercation, Jimmy Uso superkicked Seth Rollins and cost him the match, officially making Cesaro the number one contender for the Universal Championship. The main event of WrestleMania Backlash is set, but the fallout of the match was incredible.

For one, we saw a rare interaction between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Second, Jimmy Uso refused to play second fiddle to Roman Reigns, who seemed less concerned about Cesaro and more about getting his other cousin on his side.

Fall in line and acknowledge him OR take your a** home. There is only one option for Jimmy @WWEUsos. #SmackDown @HeymanHustle @WWERomanReigns pic.twitter.com/hKiEos0f2h

Jimmy Uso didn't see things the way Jey Uso did, and the final segment was all about Roman Reigns asking whether he was with or against him.

Cesaro sprung a surprise in this chaos and stood tall after attacking all three men. He looked incredible, and there's no doubt that he deserves to be in the spot. It will be his first singles match for a World Title in WWE.
