Roman Reigns kicked off SmackDown with Paul Heyman and Jey Uso and started talking about Cesaro and how the network and WWE didn't want the Swiss star as champion. Roman then mentioned Jimmy Uso and he came out, wearing a shirt that said "Nobody's B*tch" and asked Jey to join him.

Jey tried to tell him about the bigger picture before Roman asked if Jimmy thought Reigns could beat Cesaro and he said no.

Jimmy said he was more focused on getting the tag team titles than Cesaro before Roman yelled at him and asked him if he could beat Cesaro to prove that he was as good as The Tribal Chief.

Jimmy called Cesaro out and the Swiss Superman came out and accepted the challenge.

Before the segment was over, Cesaro said he would beat Jimmy and then Roman on Sunday for the title.
