The November 11 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown opened with The Usos’ undisputed tag team championship match against The New Day. While Jimmy and Jey defeated Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to retain their titles for the second time in a week, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns decided to acknowledge their efforts. Reigns hosted a special ceremony for the Usos in the final segment of the show.
The final segment of SmackDown started with Heyman talking about the Usos’ win over the New Day, as the Usos maintain their record of being the longest-reigning tag team champions of all time. This followed the entrance of the Brawling Brutes, who were defeated by the Usos at WWE Crown Jewel 2022. Sheamus then appears to claim that it was the start of the end of the Bloodline, before the fight kicks off.
