WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: JEY MAKES A CHOICE, IYO GIVES BAYLEY A TASTE OF HER OWN MEDICINE, WE HAVE NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS FOR SAMI AND KEVIN, AND MORE

Bayley and Iyo are still yelling at each other.  Bayley tells Iyo that they need to trust each other.

Shotzi says it wasn't everyone for themselves and that is why she isn't in Money in the Bank.

Shotzi tells Bayley if she is so confident, why not put your spot in the match on the line.  Iyo says Bayley accepts.

Shotzi says she will go to Pearce to get the match made.

Bayley asks why did she do it and Iyo says she was trying to help.

It is time for the Grayson Waller Effect with Grayson Waller.

Waller introduces his guest, Charlotte Flair.

Waller says he wants to woooo right now, but he decides to ask Charlotte about her title match against Asuka in two weeks.  Waller brings up how Charlotte ended Asuka's winning streak at a prior Wrestlemania.  Waller says this isn't the same Asuka.

Waller asks if she will become a fifteen time champion.

Charlotte says since we are talking numbers, she says she has Asuka's number.  Charlotte allows Waller to woooo and he does it.

That signals for Bianca Belair to make her way to the ring.

Bianca says someone needs to explain to her how things work around here.  She says she lost the title and was told she would get a rematch but she doesn't get one.  Then Charlotte comes back and she gets a match.  Bianca wants to know if she is trippin'.

Charlotte says she walked in and called her shot.  She did not break any rules.  She says the line starts with her.  Charlotte says she didn't get a rematch so aren't they both entitled to a rematch.

Bianca says she tried to do it the right way.  She got defeated and she stayed.  She tried to do it the right way.  She does not understand.  She didn't run away and hide for three months.  Maybe she should take things into her own hands.

Charlotte asks Bianca if she thinks she ran away, she stepped away.  She has beaten the best and she has lost to the best.  She is a champion with or without the title.  Charlotte asks Bianca if she is the champion with or without the title.

Bianca says she is the longest reigning champion and she didn't have to do it fourteen times so put some respect on her name.  You can talk about what you have done and what I have done, but the past is the past.  I will be standing ringside for your match against Asuka.  Whoever wins that match, I am going to step in that ring and she is going to call her shot because the title is coming back to her.

Jey Uso is in the back and Paul Heyman shows up.

Paul says he is sorry that he told Jey the truth last week.  He says he is sorry that he was right last week.  He says he is sorry that his brother cost him the title last week.  Paul says it was intentional because Jimmy does not miss.  He meant to kick Roman at Night of Champions and he meant to kick you last week.  The jealousy and envy on display to embarrass and victimize his brother on national TV.  You don't deserve that.  For that, Paul says he is sorry.

Jey says he is sorry too.  He says he is sorry that if he is in, then Paul is still out.

Roman says they have plenty of time.

Kayla is with Cameron Grimes in the back.

She asks him how he has adjusted.

Baron Corbin shows up and sends Grimes into a production case and he chokes Grimes.

Rey Mysterio makes his way to the ring.

Rey wants to know what is good tonight.  He says he has had many accomplishments over the years and there is one accomplishment that he is truly proud of.  Reforming the LWO.  The person he is going to introduce is the essence of the LWO and can become the next Mr. Money in the Bank.  He brings out Santos Escobar.

Santos says timing is everything.  He says he has worked hard and he has made a lot of sacrifices for the opportunity of a lifetime.  He says when he competes for the Money in the Bank contract.  He tells Rey thank you for believing in him.  He tells Rey that he loves him and then he hugs Rey.  Santos says Rey inspires him and he is fighting for Rey and his people and family.  He is fighting for anyone who has a dream.

We go to commercial.

We are back and next week, we will have the Women's Tag Team Unification Match.  Cameron Grimes will face Baron Corbin.  Bayley faces Shotzi and if Shotzi wins, she takes Bayley's spot in Money in the Bank.

Roman looks around and he tells Lexington to ACKNOWLEDGE him.

Jey Uso makes his way to the ring.

Jey paces in the ring and Roman says he knows what they want.  He says they want answers.  Are you in or are you out?

Jey tells Roman to tell him.  He says it is either him (Paul) or it is me.

Roman has that Roman look on his face.

He tells Jey when he is Tribal Chief he can pick whoever he wants to be his wise man.  He is not the Bloodline's wise man, he is Roman's wise man.  Roman says he was meant to get them to the promised land and Jey is meant to keep them here.  Paul said they started grooming him but they have been doing it for three years.  They are putting equity in you.  Why are you the Right Hand Man and Main Event Jey?  You are meant to lead, just not yet.  The problem is not Paul, it is your brother.

Roman says he knows you are inseparable.

Jimmy shows up and he makes his way to the ring.

Jimmy says the problem is not Jey's brother, but his cousin.  You say you are a leader and he is grooming you?  He is screwing you.  Do you believe the garbage coming out of Roman's mouth?  Do you believe this?  Over him?  

Roman starts to laugh and they weren't doing this ten years ago.  It took ten years to get you into Wrestlemania.  Since you have been with him, you have main evented each of them.  Roman says Jimmy is an anchor while Roman lifts him up.  You are the successor.  You can't be a Tribal Chief and a twin at the same time.  Let him plead and beg for you.  Roman says he can put on a mask too.  

Roman asks Paul who had the problem when Jey was named the Right Hand Man.  Roman says it was Paul's decision.  Paul points at Jimmy.

Jey looks at Jimmy and Jimmy looks down at the mat.

Jey wants to know if that was true.

Jimmy says it is true and Jey starts to pace again.

Jey asks Jimmy if he doubted him.

Jimmy says he never doubted him.  Jey says he expects it from Roman, but not you.  Jey says Jimmy will say he know what's best for him.  That's your older brother.  That is all he heard growing up.  They were competing wtih Roman but he has been keeping up with Jimmy the whole time.

You were the prom king, player of the year, most likely to succeed.  Jey says there was a blessing in disguise when you got hurt.  He says he main evented Smackdown and pay per views because of Roman.

Jey tells Jimmy that he is out . . . 

and Jey says he is out too . . . 

Jey super kicks Roman.
