By Richard Trionfo on 2021-05-28 21:59:00

immy Uso and Jey Uso are in Roman's locker room and Jimmy is excited to be in action as a team for the first time in over a year.

Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman show up and Roman looks at them.

Roman asks if they feel good.  Jimmy says he is ready.  Roman wants to make sure he has this straight.  He wants to know what Jimmy's intentions are with his brother and what the end game is.  Jimmy says the end game is to win.  They are going to get gold to put their titles next to Roman's title.

Roman says Jimmy sounds like he has it figured out and he is happy for him and he wishes Jimmy luck.

Jimmy leaves the room and Roman asks Jey if his brother is talking for him now.

Jey tells Roman he is with him.  Roman tells Jey to tell Jimmy.

We are in Tampa, Florida and your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.

The Street Profits make their way to the ring.

Montez says it is Friday night in the Thunderdome and he asks Angelo if he noticed that he has had a pep in his step this week.  Tonight is a night unlike no other night.  Tonight is the Clash of the Titans.  Tonight is the Street Profits versus the Usos.  Ford says they had a little fun at the Uso's expense last week.  When the Street Profits heard that the Usos were challenging them, they were flattered.  Of all the teams in the world, they chose us.  Ford says they have been down since day one.  Ford mentions the Haka.  That isn't the type of Usos are they are facing tonight.  It has been an entire year since Jimmy returned from his injury.  Roman lives in Jey's head rent free.  Dawkins says it looks like Roman will be taking residence in Jimmy's head too.

Ford asks if his eyes are deceiving him because he sees the Usos.

Jimmy asks if they hear it and they have jokes.  It doesn't matter if I have been on the shelf for a year or ten years, the best tag team in the business is back.  Jimmy wants to remind them who they are talking to.  Six time WWE Tag Team Champions, back to back Tag Team of the Year, and soon to be seven time Tag Team Champions.

Jey says this is family business and you have stuck your nose in the middle of it.  You are on social media saying this is a dream match, welcome to the nightmare. 

Jimmy says when they win, they move one step closer to being tag team champions.
