In-Ring: The Usos, Sami Zayn, Solo Sikoa, Matt Riddle, Kevin Owens

The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match is kicking off the show. The Usos make their way to the ring alongside Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa of The Bloodline.

Earlier today, a black SUV drove into the arena. The Usos came out with Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa. Byron Saxton was there to greet them and ask a question. As Saxton was midsentence, Matt Riddle scared them back by riding through them on his scooter. The Bloodline is irate. Elias came around the corner, so Sikoa blindsided him and threw him into a metal barricade.

Jey Uso says, “Washington, D.C., The Bloodline is now in your city.” Jimmy Uso says they’ve got some bad news because the Tag Team Title match that was supposed to happen tonight has been canceled. The crowd boos. Jimmy says everyone came to see The Bloodline compete, but the bright side is Matt Riddle doesn’t have to be humiliated, and Elias can work on any song he wants to. The Usos can concentrate on being the best Tag Team Champions ever. Every tag team in the locker room are the twos, and they are the ones.

Matt Riddle’s music hits. Riddle comes out to the stage and says it wasn’t cool of them to take out his tag team partner. It was Elias’ first chance at WWE gold. Riddle says he didn’t think The Bloodline would run from a fight. That’s not very “Ucey.” Sami Zayn says, “Hold up, dawg.” Zayn says he’s a certified “Uce-ologist” and will tell him what is and isn’t Ucey. Solo Sikoa showing once again why he’s the enforcer… that’s ucey. The Usos continuing to be the longest-reigning Tag Team Champions in history… that’s ucey. Riddle coming out here and running his mouth thinking he ever had a chance at beating The Bloodline… that is not Ucey. Unless Riddle wants to suffer the same fate as his tag team partner, Zayn suggests Riddle turn around and go home.

Riddle says he did find a tag team partner. There will be a Tag Team Championship match tonight. Riddle says he doesn’t get along with his partner. They’re not really bros, but they both hate The Bloodline. Kevin Owens walks out to be Riddle’s Tag Team partner!
