WWE SmackDown Buffalo, New York
The commentators are Michael Cole and Corey Graves.
– Tonight is WWE SmackDown, the blue show starts with the commentators welcoming us then we see the Bloodline arrive in the arena. A video of the Bloodline’s victory against Roman Reigns and the Usos at Crown Jewel 2024 is then shown.
Roman Reigns makes his entrance with Jimmy Uso. He was going to speak but Jey Uso’s music sounded! He tells Roman Reigns that he thinks there have been some misunderstandings, but Reigns needs to hear what he has to say. Sami Zayn comes into the ring and the crowd chants “Sami Uso”. Zayn says he’d like to talk about what happened at Crown Jewel, he didn’t kick him on purpose. If he came to Crown Jewel, it was for Jey Uso. He’d like to say that the only reason he’s here tonight is because Jey Uso asked him to come… but that’s not true. It’s been a long time since they last saw each other with Roman Reigns. At Crown Jewel, all four of them were in the ring and it was special, it reminded him of when they were a family…
Zayn felt it, Jey, Jimmy and Reigns too. Sami Zayn knows because they are all here tonight. If they’re listening to it now, it’s because they all want that feedback. People think the opposite of love is hate, but that’s not the case. The opposite of love is indifference and he doesn’t think Roman Reigns is indifferent towards him. Sami Zayn thinks Roman Reigns likes him.
It could go back to how it was before. Sami Zayn will leave the choice to Roman Reins. If he wants Zayn to go away and never interfere in Bloodline affairs again, he will. But he doesn’t think Reigns wants that, he wants all four of them to fight together. And if he wants to do it, Sami Zayn is up for it…but he wants an apology first. Roman Reigns asks if Sami Zayn wants him to apologize to him. Sami Zayn says he doesn’t want that, he wants Reigns to apologize to Jey Uso.
Roman Reigns walks up to Jey Uso and apologizes… for letting him waste his time with this. Sami Zayn is not part of the family and he has unfinished business with Solo Sikoa, let him bring his ass back now! Sami Zayn leaves the ring and we see Jacob Fatu on the giant screen. He says there is Tribal Chief and all the others. Roman Reigns is one of “everyone else.” Solo Sikoa doesn’t come when Reigns wants him to. He will come when he decides. Reigns will end up recognizing him before the end of the show.
– WWE reminds that Elimination Chamber 2025 will take place on March 1 in Toronto.

Solo Sikoa mocks Roman Reigns and tells him he doesn’t need to fight him, he’s already the one Tribal Chief undisputed! In any case, he cannot become a Tribal Chief without a tribe… On the other hand, he can go find 4 people who want to team up with him and they can go to war.
