#1: Roman Reigns brutalized Jey Uso in a slow-burn match that featured the best storytelling of the night
Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso was certainly not a pretty match to watch. Then again, that was supposed to be the point all along. Everyone knew Reigns was going to retain the Universal Title at WWE Clash of Champions.
But to maximize the effect of Reigns attacking his cousin on WWE SmackDown, The Tribal Chief went all out in terms of teaching Jey Uso an important lesson at Clash of Champions.
Although Jey did get some offense in, Roman dominated most of this bout. Towards the end, Reigns wanted Jey Uso to call him 'The Tribal Chief' of the Anoa'i family. When Jey refused, the WWE Universal Champion launched a relentless assault on his own cousin.
Jimmy Uso had to come out at one point. Although Jey said he didn't want his brother to call the shots, Jimmy had to throw in the towel when it became clear that there was no way his twin brother would be getting up on his feet.
Undoubtedly, Roman Reigns is a heel now. The way he brutalized Jey Uso conveyed that even 'family' is an afterthought when it comes to defending the Universal Championship on any WWE event.
The slow-burn approach towards this bout's somber conclusion was the perfect way to paint the portrait of a broken family, and WWE fans can't wait to see what's next in store for The Tribal Chief's Universal Title reign.
