#1. Jey Uso became the no. 1 contender for Roman Reigns' WWE Universal Championship at Clash of Champions

As Paul Heyman said at the beginning of this week's WWE SmackDown, neither he nor Roman Reigns could utter the names of the competitors of last night's Fatal Four-Way main event.

While The Big Dog may not see them as worthy competitors, fans sitting at home know that Big E was the only interesting candidate when compared to the names Matt Riddle, King Corbin, and Sheamus.

With Big E out of the picture, WWE swerved everyone and put The Big Dog's cousin, Jey Uso, into the mix. So it's a cousin vs. cousin clash at WWE's upcoming pay-per-view event, and without a shadow of a doubt, it was a development that nobody saw coming at this point.

While some may see this as an act of benevolence on Roman's part, the Universal Champion may obliterate his cousin on purpose at Clash of Champions.

It would further solidify Reigns as a more effective heel. This angle also creates more anticipation for Big E vs. Roman Reigns, a showdown that everyone is clamoring for.

Which show was better this week, WWE RAW or SmackDown? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
