By Richard Trionfo on 2023-03-31 22:00:00

Your announcers are Michael Cole and Wade Barrett.

The Tag Team Champions, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso make their way to the ring.

Jey says the Bloodline is in your city.  

Jimmy says it is the Smackdown before the biggest tag match of all time at Wrestle . . . 

Sami Zayn's music interrupts and Kevin and Sami make their way out.

Sami agrees that they are one night away from the biggest match in WWE history.  They put an end to this all.  Tonight, before we take your tag team championships away from you, tonight we are going to make sure that there is nothing unsaid between us.  Sami wants to lay it all out on the table.

Kevin says there is something he has to say.  He doesn't know what has to happen.  It goes beyond the last seven months.  You were the guys who made me belong when I came to WWE.  You would play with my son and I thought I could look up to you.  That was until you started doing your cousin's bidding.  Then I lost all respect and it got worse at the Royal Rumble.  Kevin tells them to look at him and he says at the Royal Rumble you tried to take it all from me.  This man saved me  Tomorrow night, there is a part of me that doesn't want to do what I have to do but there is a part that makes me want to do it.  You know what is going to happen.  It is not paranoia, we are taking your tag titles. 

Jimmy says Kevin is right.  We showed you love when you came here.  That is the type of people we are.  We ain't got no love for either of you.  We conflicted?  The only two conflicted are the two of you.  This is what you wish you had.  This is family.  This is blood.

Sami says this is something you keep forgetting.  He says blood is not the only thing that makes you family.  Loyalty makes you family.

Jey asks Sami what does he know about loyalty?

Sami says he needs to remind Jey because he was loyal to both of them from day one.  You were the ones who chose blood over loyalty.  You chose Roman even though he has never been loyal to either of you.

Sami says the pressure and weight of the Bloodline has been on both of you.  I am going to put you out of your miseries because we are taking your tag titles.  When we do, that is the end.  That is the end of Roman, the Bloodline, and all of it.  You can go back to being you.  The guys Kevin talked about.  The guys who everyone loved.  You can go back to being the Usos.  You won't have those titles with you any more.

Sami tells Jimmy and Jey they know they know.

Jey says that ain't it.  It's going to be the same thing with you two.  You are going to lose the big match.  Then Kevin is going to stab you in the back . . . again.  Meanwhile, we are going to keep doing what we have been doing for the last 600 days.  You will be in the ring with the longest reigning tag champions.  After tomorrow, when the smoke clears, they are going to say AND STILL your tag team champions, Jimmy and Jey . . . the Usos.

The Street Profits make their way to the stage and they stare down the Usos and then Jimmy and Jey go to the back.
