In the final segment of SmackDown, Roman Reigns asked Jey Uso if he still wants to compete against him for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Jey then said that the elders wanted to see a Tribal Combat between him and Reigns. Both then shook hands. Solo Sikoa attempted to hit a Samoan Spike on Jey but Reigns blocked it. Jey Uso then delivered a Superkick on Sikoa.
