Reigns couldn't understand how his cousins were defeated and asked who got pinned. Jimmy Uso was the one in question and Roman asked how he was going to fix it.
Jimmy said that he was going to make The New Day acknowledge the Universal Champ and the Bloodline.

New Day made their entrance and King Woods and Sir Kofi made jokes about Roman being the 'Head Of The Table' but there was never a table. The crowd loved it and Woods cheered them on before challenging Jimmy Uso to the match.

If Uso won, Woods will acknowledge Roman. But if Xavier won, Jimmy would have to bend the knee to the King.
The Usos were hesitant about the challenge but Roman took the mic and accepted the challenge for them before SmackDown moved on.
