WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: HASTA LA VISTA NXT WOMEN'S TAG BELTS, BIANCA GETTING NO RESPECT, WAS IT LA'S KNIGHT?, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2023-06-23 21:59:00

Your announcers are Michael Cole and Wade Barrett.

We start off with a look back at what happened last week when Jimmy and Jey showed Roman their decision about the future of the Bloodline.

Jimmy and Jey Uso make their way to the ring.

Jey says the Bloodline, but Jimmy stops Jey and reminds him who they are and Jey says The Usos are in your city.  Jimmy says he is feeling good.  He asks Jey how is he feeling.  Jey says if he could be 100 now, they are going to have to fight their family.  Family doesn't do that.  Family is supposed to lift each other up and have each others backs.  From day one to the end . . . 

Jimmy tells Jey that he made the perfect choice.

Jey says they still love Roman because he is the Tribal Chief and they were in the trenches with him for three years.  Where you messed up is that you disrespected them.  

Jimmy says they were raised on respect.  It is not about falling in line.  They became the most dominant faction in WWE and it was run with respect.  When they were shown that they were worth nothing, then your ass is stuck on the Island of Relevancy all alone.  You and the biggest snake of them all.

Jey says they cannot forgive the ones on the outside of the circle.  If you follow the rats, they are going to leave the snakes and Paul Heyman is the biggest snake.

Jimmy says you respected the family for forty years.  How could you take orders that would build a wedge between two brothers whose lives were built on respect.

Jey says they are going to go to London and go to war with their family.  You are looking at the best tag team in the game.  He says it will be on lock down at Money in the Bank.

We take a look back at what happened last week between Santos Escobar and LA Knight.
