WWE SmackDown Superstars have stepped up their game ahead of WrestleMania 37

IMPRESSED on WWE SmackDown - Jey Uso

Jey Uso is gradually establishing himself as a top superstar on WWE SmackDown. His recent run as Roman Reigns' right-hand man has allowed him to explore his complete potential as a singles star. Uso was once again featured in the show's main event and was excellent in his portrayal as a heel.

He was brutal inside the ring and looked determined to stop Daniel Bryan at all costs. Jey Uso referred to his previous matches with Bryan to better navigate the offense.

He was vicious in his attacks, with and without weapons during the street fight. Bryan also gave Jey Uso enough room to get creative during their match on WWE SmackDown.

Despite sustaining a loss against Bryan, Jey looked impressive inside the squared circle. That said, he now has to answer Roman Reigns, who expected him to get the job done against Bryan. It will be interesting to see how the Tribal Chief will respond to the loss.

The fact that Bryan had enough left in him to attack Reigns after the match is enough to irk the Universal Champion. Jey Uso also failed to stop Edge ahead of Fastlane. Thus, Uso will look for every opportunity to redeem himself in the coming weeks.
