Jey Uso, despite losing to Edge on SmackDown, will still have a big role in Roman Reigns' Universal title defense. Uso has been Reigns' insurance policy and a large part of why he is still the Universal Champion and not Kevin Owens.

Jey Uso could take out Edge while he is in the special enforcer role. While it would mean that the SmackDown main event was pointless, it's an easy way to get to Roman Reigns retaining the Universal Championship.
