Roman Reigns and Jey Uso know they’re going to meet in a battle of family members at SummerSlam. They just need to discuss some details first, and they’re going to do that tonight on WWE SmackDown from Orlando.
WWE is hyping the latest chapter in the long-running Bloodline saga even more by calling the segment for tonight’s show a chance to set Rules of Engagement for SummerSlam, which makes it sound like they are fighting an actual war. We’ll see what this actually entails, but it could be as simple as setting some stipulations or something more grandiose than that. Hopefully it’s the latter, but given how this storyline has gone, fans should eat it up regardless.
The other big selling point for tonight’s show is the first of two Fatal 4-Ways that will get us on step closer to finding a No. 1 contender for Austin Theory and the United States Championship. The winner will take on the winner of another 4-Way in what’s essentially a mini tournament.
In any case, tonight’s match features a good mix of longtime hands like Rey Mysterio and Sheamus with relatively newer faces such as Cameron Grimes and LA Knight. It feels like every week might be the one where WWE decides to capitalize on Knight’s incredible rapport with the fans, so maybe this will be it. Possibly.
There’s going to be more, for sure, but that’s all WWE has officially revealed for Orlando. We’ll be tuning in tonight on FOX at 8 p.m. ET to watch, and we invite you to join us here on Wrestling Junkie for live updates during the show.
