Tonight’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown ended in a brutal affair, as a planned tag team match between Roman Reigns & Jey Uso and Kevin Ownes & Otis turned into Roman Reigns teaching the entire WWE Universe – including his cousin – a lesson.

Things started off with Jey Uso having to come out to the ring alone, after Roman Reigns told him that there would be consequences for him accepting the match without Reigns’ permission earlier in the night. Just when it looked like Uso would have to fight against Owens and Otis by himself, though, Reigns did come out, and quickly got to work clearing everyone out. Reigns landed a brutal Superman Punch on Otis, and proceeded to assault him outside of the ring, eventually bashing him relentlessly with the steel chairs and forcing Otis to leave the match.

With Owens all on his own, it was only a matter of time before Reigns and Uso got the upper hand on him. Although Owens had brief moments where it looked like he would walk out with a win, eventually he was taken down by Reigns as well, and the match ended with a disqualification, as Reigns – who wasn’t the legal man – locked Owens in a headlock that knocked him out. With Owens out, Reigns and Uso proceeded to assault him with chairs, before Reigns shockingly attacked Uso as well, dropping him with a chair shot and saying that Uso keeps making him do things he doesn’t want to do. Reigns then grabbed Owens by the beard, telling him that he and his family will learn to fear him and that he’s going to make sure Owens loses everything, before posing over both Owens and Uso with his WWE Universal Championship.
