WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: WHAT SIDE IS JIMMY ON?, JOHN CENA IS BACK FOR A WHILE, ANOTHER CHAMP IS BACK, AND MORE

Your announcers are Michael Cole, Corey Graves, and Kevin Patrick.

We start off with a look back at what happened with the Usos since SummerSlam.

John Cena makes his way to the ring.

John welcomes everyone to Smackdown.  John says you have given him 20 years of moments running to the ring and sliding in and it never gets old.  It gets better every time.  He says he is going to do his best to say thank you every time he comes to the ring.  He thanks everyone for giving and what they have given.  They have given him a chance to come home to his WWE family.  You gave him the chance to be part of Smackdown, not for one night only, but for months.  You gave me the opportunity to travel to India for the first time in my career.  

John says you have given him the opportunity to host Payback.  For all that you have given him, John says he gives you his word to give back to you.  That starts right here and right now.  John mentions that we are giving answers to the questions that have been on your mind for weeks.  You are getting unforgettable moments because you are going to get to see John Cena . . . 

Jimmy Uso's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.  

The crowd chants for Jey and John does a voiceover.

Jimmy wants to know what is John doing here.  He tells the people not to boo him.  These people came to see him, the top star.  They came to hear 'Why Jim Why?'  He says he would save his brother ten times over.  He says he did it because he loves his brother.  The funny thing is that he didn't want Jey to be corrupted like Roman and he didn't want Jey to be corrupted like John Cena.

He says this is John and John says he has an identifiable fashion sense.

Jimmy says John is a GOAT, but Jimmy says he is one of the best.  He says that John and Roman are exactly alike.  You take take take and take.  The only difference is that John does it with a smile.  

John says Jimmy has a lot on his mind and he had a crazy run.  You have made some rash decisions and you are trying to make sense of it.  John says he has wanted to say this for three years.  The wrong Uso quit.  He tells Jimmy to take that.

Jimmy starts to walk away but he turns around and goes for a super kick that is blocked by Cena.  John with an Attitude Adjustment.

Kayla is in the back with Grayson Waller and Austin Theory.  

She asks them about John being the host at Payback and they both laugh.  Austin points out he beat John Cena at Wrestlemania.  Waller says all people will talk about other than Theory winning his title back than the Grayson Waller Effect.  Austin says it is time to see the greatest tag team of all time beat Rey Mysterio and Santos.

We see Jimmy Uso walking in the back and yelling at production assistants.
