“I’m doing what you should’ve done a long time ago!” Jimmy Uso to Jey Uso
Staying with this past Friday Night SmackDown, Jimmy and Jey Uso confronted their cousin after the events of Night of Champions where Jimmy kicked the Tribal Chief in the face, costing him and Solo Sikoa a shot of the Tag Team Titles that night. The Usos tried to reason with each other, but to no avail, as Sikoa spiked Jimmy.

Thunder crack, Stat’s Back
After battling her second knee injury for months, Kris Statlander made a triumphant return to AEW Double or Nothing, answering Jade Cargill’s TBS Championship open challenge after the champ retained her belt against Taya Valkyrie. Statlander was more than ready for the task, stunning Cargill, ending her 60-win streak, and becoming the brand new AEW TBS Champion. Speaking on her victory to Wrestling Inc., she says, “[Jade] put the challenge out and I was the one ready to answer it and overcame it. If she wants the rematch… I’m back, better than ever, and ready to go.”
