WWE SmackDown video highlights: Jey Uso returns

After not being seen since the Royal Rumble, Jey Uso showed up on SmackDown last night for The Usos’ scheduled Tag Team title defense.

Jey walked out on The Bloodline when they beat down Sami Zayn at the Royal Rumble. With Solo Sikoa not at the episode and Jimmy Uso unable to reach Jey, it appeared that Jimmy was going to have to defend the SmackDown Tag Team titles by himself last night. But Jey arrived through the crowd right before their match against Braun Strowman & Ricochet was about to begin.

Jey pinned Ricochet to retain the SmackDown Tag Team titles. Following the match, Jey told his brother that he has his back and is never going to leave him behind. But Jey was non-committal when Jimmy asked him if he’s still going to be part of The Bloodline.

Zayn approached Jey backstage and told him that it meant the world to him when Jey stood up for him at the Royal Rumble. Zayn tried to convince Jey that he doesn’t have to go down with The Bloodline’s ship. Their interaction ended with Zayn telling Jey, “I acknowledge you.”

At the end of last night’s show, Paul Heyman informed Jimmy Uso that Roman Reigns doesn’t want The Usos to show up at Elimination Chamber.
