The answer is yes.  She has broken away and come back to the ring as Charlotte has the Figure 8 on Asuka.  Bianca hit a 450 on Charlotte but she kicked out at two.  

Bianca and Charlotte are throwing hands.  They are talking trash.  Charlotte put the Figure 8 on Bianca but Asuka came in and blasted Charlotte with the mist.  She went to take out Bianca but she rolled her up and won the Title.  But she’s hurt so you know what’s next.  Here comes Iyo Sky and Bayley.  Bayley blasted Charlotte with the case.  Iyo hit Bianca in the knew with the case and hit the moonsault, 1-2-3.  New champion again.  This is why I hate the briefcase.  I get the story that they told and how it gets sympathy for Bianca but man, I hate the title changing that way.

After the match, Dakota Kai came in to celebrate with her group.  Iyo is happy and mugging with the title.  Good for her, she deserves it.

And now, your main event of the evening as Roman Reigns and Jey Uso go to war.

Big response for Jey, as you would expect.  The peeps are behind him.  Will this be the moment?

The champ is next.  This definitely has a big match feel.

Roman is taking his time getting to the ring.  I love the way he does that.  He doesn’t rush anything and why should he?

Paul Heyman is with Roman.  No Solo.  I expect to see him, as well as Jimmy, before the night is over.

Before the match Roman showed Jey the beads and said if he beats him, he will give the beads to Jey.  He will put them on Jey.  Sorry, I can’t spell the actual name.  People clapped for the bell ringing.  And….we’re off.

This one won’t start fast, and it shouldn’t.

Roman is in control early.  Jey is a little sluggish after a knee to the face.

Jey came and hit a Rock punch and went to work on the floor. The crowd asked for tables.  Jey grabbed one.  Heyman tried to talk Jey out of using it, which gave Roman time to attack from behind and take control. 

Jey started to come back but as he went for a tope Roman met him with a cane and went to work on his cousin.  It’s been all Roman so far.

Roman talked smack on Jey but he fired back with a few shots before Roman took control again.  He went for a Superman but Jey nailed him with the cane and then took him to the woodshed, splintering the cane on his cousin.  Jey followed with a 360 splash to the floor on the champ.

Jey came off the top but Roman his a Superman on his for a two.

Jey got a couple of near falls.  He looks like he is bleeding on his hand, probably from the cane.  

Jey grabbed a chair.  And he used it.  The fans wanted on more.  Jey went and got about 10 more and threw them in the ring.

Heyman is in tears, saying to Jey that they are family.  Good stuff.

Jey went for a suplex from the top on Roman onto the chairs but Roman got control and hit a powerbomb on some of them, but two count only.

Roman hit the floor and set up a second table inside the ring in the corner.  Jey fought out and got to the apron.  They threw hands but then Jey ate a big punch.  Roman changed but ate a kick.  Jey managed to power Roman up and do a Samoan Drop on Roman through the table on the floor.

Jey was up first and got a strap.  He started beating Roman.  Roman has a cut on his arm.  

Now they are out fighting in the crowd.  Out of nowhere, Solo attacked his brother.  He put him through a table on the floor.  Solo is dragging brother to the ring.  Where is Jimmy?

Solo did a spinning Solo on Jey in the ring.  Tine for the Spike/Spear but Jey moved and Roman took out Solo.  Jey hit a spear and got a two on Roman.  

Jey has two chairs.  He used one on Solo.  Then Roman.  Then Solo.  Then Roman.  

The Champ rolled to the floor and was going to nail Roman when he ate a kick from Solo.  But then Solo faced off with Roman.  He didn’t appreciate the Spear.  While they were talking, Jey came out of nowhere and put the champ through the barricade.  They were both down when Solo went back to work on Jey.  But Jey came back and put Solo on the announce table and splashed Solo through it.  Jey brought Roman in the ring and had him beat when a guy in a hoodie pulled him out, costing him the Title.  Ends up it was Jimmy, which I was hoping like hell it wouldn’t be.  The fans aren’t happy.  They got less happy when Jimmy hit a superkick on Jey and threw him in the ring.  Roman speared him through the table and retained the Title.  He’s still the chief.

I will give it time to see where they take it but my first take was UGH.  I have loved The Bloodline storyline for years now.  I hope this isn’t the jump the shark moment for it.

The match itself was decent.  I kept waiting for it to go to the next gear and it never seemed to happen.

I was really looking forward to this show but overall it just didn’t deliver.  This is the first show of the HHH era where I wasn’t satisfied when it ended.  I hope it ends up being an outlier.

Thanks for reading.
