Speaking of The Bloodline, Roman Reigns was not present on WWE SmackDown this week. That allowed The Usos to take command, and they undoubtedly stole the show. Jey and Jimmy Uso interrupted King Woods and Sir Kofi Kingston’s brief celebratory moment on the show. The King of the Ring responded by challenging The Usos to a match in the main event.

Both teams share a long history in WWE and have always delivered memorable matches. Once again, they faced each other in the best in-ring bout of the night that saw King Woods and Sir Kofi pick up an impressive victory over the reigning WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions. Jimmy and Kingston were brawling inside the ring when Jey tried to distract the New Day member.

Sir Kofi attacked Jey Uso before returning to continue his fight with Jimmy Uso. Woods sneakily tagged himself into the match. Jimmy tried to pin Kingston instead, unaware of the fact that King Woods was the legal man while the latter sought the right opportunity to pin the champion and steal a big victory to close the show.

It was a great way to set up a potential WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship feud between The Usos and the New Day.

King Woods and Sir Kofi won’t be like all of The Usos’ other opponents. They are one of the best tag teams to have ever stepped inside the squared circle, and it will be exciting to see how the creative team will book this storyline as we advance.
