WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: WE HAVE NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, WE WILL HAVE NEW WOMEN'S TAG CHAMPIONS, WHO JOINS KOFI AND WOODS NEXT WEEK?, AND MORE

Your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.

Unified Champion Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring with The Usos and Paul Heyman.

Roman Reigns is handed the mic and he wants the city to acknowledge him.  Roman says tonight is special because you are not only acknowledging him, you are acknowledging my cousins.  That means you acknowledge the Bloodline.  Roman asks Paul to tell them why.

Paul welcomes everyone to the single biggest night in the history of tag team wrestling.  Roman Reigns is the GOAT and you can take your Bruno Sammartinos, Hulk Hogans, Dwayne Johnsons, Brock Lesnars, and John Cenas and they would all be stacked up and pinned by Roman Reigns.  While you sit there with your insignificant cheers, every night of Roman Reigns' life, he protects the position of being the greatest of all time.  What does it take for the Usos to be the best tag team of all time.  I am in the ring with the direct descendants of Afa and Sika to claim the best of all time it not right unless you can do what the Wild Samoans never accomplished.  That is unify the tag titles.  Be the only tag team to ever be Smackdown and Raw Tag Team Champions at the same time.  To do so, the Usos have to defeat Randy Orton and Riddle.

Paul says this is the best tag team on Smackdown against the best tag team on Raw.  The Usos have to earn their spot and be relevant.  It is not enough to be the cousins of the tribal chief.  Tonight, the Usos will come home the undisputed tag team champions or they won't come home to the Island of Relevancy at all.  The Usos will beat RK-Bro.  The Usos will become the greatest tag team of all time.  The Usos will become the undisputed Tag team champions of the world.

That is not a prediction, that is a spoiler.

Roman takes the mic back and he tells the Usos they know what he wants.  He says he expects them to deliver.  The only reason I have these expectations is because I love you.  Roman hugs Jimmy and Jey and he has a look of 'You Better Not Disappoint Me' on his face.

We take a look at what happened last week.

Corbin says you should all learn from that and appreciate what you have.  Show your boss total respect.  You should never try to improve your station in life.  Moss was his protege and Corbin says he paid for everything for him.  Corbin says that if Moss wants to eat steak now, his nurse has to chew it first.  Moss wanted to get out of my shadow and rise to the top of WWE.  He was a big shot.  He didn't appreciate every great thing I did for him.  Corbin says that Moss called him the Big Bald Wolf.

Who is laughing now?  Maybe I am the big bald wolf because I huffed and I puffed and I put Moss in an ambulance.
