WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: HE'S BACK, WHO NEEDS TO QUALIFY FOR MONEY IN THE BANK?, BIG E VERSUS CREWS, SAMI AND OWENS NEXT WEEK, AND MORE

We begin with a look at last week's historic Hell in a Cell match between Roman Reigns and Rey Mysterio.

We are in Tampa, Florida and your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.

Roman Reigns is in his locker room and Paul Heyman says that Rey and Dominik are not here but from their hospital beds, they are acknowledging you.  

Jimmy Uso shows up and he says hello to Roman but Roman wants to know where Jey is.  Jimmy says he is a no show.  He finally got in touch with him and Roman wants to know what Jey said.

Jimmy says that Jey said he isn't coming back.  

Roman says he took him from being 'one of the Usos' to 'Main Event Jey' and now he doesn't show up for work.

Jimmy says he understands Jey and he isn't Roman's bitch.  He says he is here to represent family.

Roman asks Jimmy if he can do what Jey does.  Can you be the right hand man?  

Jimmy says he isn't Jey and cannot do what he can do.

Roman asks if Jimmy can't do it.

Jimmy says he can do what his brother do.  

Roman tells Jimmy to prove it.

Bianca Belair makes her way to the ring and she has something to say before her match.

Bianca says it is Friday and we are on the road to Money in the Bank.  We are three weeks away from leaving the Thunderdome to go on the road to be in front of you.  Tonight, I am about to whoop up on Bayley once again.  After I won at Hell in a Cell, I haven't been able to stop celebrating or shining my title.  I want it to be so clean that I can see my reflection.  It is to remind me that the girl in that reflection did it and persevered.  Bayley threw everything at her.  While I will never forget all of that pain Bayley put me through in that cell, I can't stop smiling.  I am so proud of the girl I see in that reflection.  I didn't allow a Bayley . . . a bully to get to me.

Anyone struggling with your own Bayley, let it be a reminder that you are so much more powerful.  Those bullies, they can scheme all day long and they can laugh in your face like the Wicked Witch of the West.  Ding Dong, the witch is dead.

Not to be outdone, Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring and he says it is time to celebrate with the Smackdown Women's Champion.  They are out here celebrating because we both overcame adversity.  I overcame a huge amount of adversity.  I overcame the haters, the doubters and trolls when I pinned Cesaro in the center of the ring.  I beat him from bell to bell and pillar to post.  Seth says that Bianca didn't dominate the way she did.  You squeaked by and some might call it a fluke.  That is no reason not to celebrate.  Win at any cost.  Seth wants a high five from Bianca.

Bianca wants to know who Seth thinks he is talking to.  Bianca reminds Seth who he is teaming with.

Seth says that Bayley will beat Bianca up so they can high five now, because it won't be happening after the match.

Bayley tells Seth not to waste his time.  Bayley says she was going to congratulate Bianca on her win from Sunday, but all you did was brag and brag.  You are not the champion these people deserve.

Bianca tells Bayley she will show Bayley what kind of champion she is.

Bayley tells Bianca after her fluke victory on Sunday, she doesn't look any differently at her.  She sees the same old pathetic Bianca BeLoser.

Bianca punches Bayley and Seth gets between them.

Bayley attacks Bianca and connects with punches.  Bayley kicks Bianca and . . . 

Cesaro's music plays an he makes his way to the wing and Cesaro with a European uppercut and clothesline that sends Seth to the floor.  Bayley sends Bianca to the floor.
