We undoubtedly missed Jimmy Uso on WWE SmackDown
Last week, Jimmy Uso returned on SmackDown and instantly sent the WWE Universe into a frenzy by confirming that he won’t acknowledge Roman Reigns as the 'Head of the Table'. This week, he asserted his argument and even urged Jey Uso to stop hailing Reigns as The Tribal Chief. This led to a frustrated Reigns asking Jimmy to fight Cesaro.

The expectations were high from Jimmy Uso’s first match on SmackDown after his return from a prolonged injury. He certainly did well and deserves praise for carrying himself with such ease inside the squared circle. He also showed glimpses of a more brutal side which ultimately helped in putting Cesaro over ahead of his big match.
Jimmy’s message for Roman Reigns was also clearly written on his T-Shirt. He challenged the Universal Champion’s authority on SmackDown. Jimmy Uso further argued that he could easily replace Reigns if the latter loses his title and The Usos win the SmackDown tag team titles.
It will be interesting to see how the creative will book another feud involving Roman Reigns, his cousin. Moreover, The Tribal Chief will now have to keep an eye out for Jimmy Uso as well while trying to defend his title at the upcoming pay-per-view.
