In retrospect, maybe we shouldn’t have been that surprised when Jimmy Uso turned on his own twin brother at SummerSlam. After all, if there’s any place where family members routinely stab each other in the back in the most dramatic ways, it’s pro wrestling.
Still, it was shocking in the moment at Ford Field in Detroit, and now what’s left is the repercussions. Some of those will surely be felt tonight on WWE SmackDown in Calgary.
WWE is promoting a segment that promises to tell us what’s next for The Bloodline. We know Roman Reigns is scheduled to be there and is still Tribal Chief. Jimmy Uso will hopefully tell the world why he did what he did. And Jey Uso is unlikely to just sit back and accept it all peacefully.
While that segment is guaranteed to be the big draw, there’s plenty more in store for Calgary. Asuka and Charlotte Flair, neither of whom left Detroit as champion, will nevertheless renew their rivalry in the ring. Santos Escobar will get his shot at Austin Theory and the United States Championship. And AJ Styles will take on the man who continues to hound him at every turn, Karrion Kross.
Where’s that leave us? Just sitting back and taking it all in, just like the rest of you. The action kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on FOX here in the U.S., and we’re told on Sportsnet in Canada. We’ll also have live SmackDown results and updates here on Wrestling Junkie during the show because we’re nice like that.
