The women’s segment featured team action as Nia Jax joined forces with Candice LeRae to face the duo of Naomi and Bayley.

Sikoa addresses fans

The latest SmackDown episode kicked off with Solo Sikoa demanding the crowd to acknowledge him as the tribal chief. He then discussed how ex-Bloodline members Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso cannot stop him from leading the family. Soon, Jey Uso made his way to the ring and told Sikoa that he was not looking for a fight. Jey said that he had no problems with Sikoa trying to seize Reigns’ power but he just did not want the family to be divided. The new Tribal Chief claimed that he was trying to unite the family. The segment soon came to a close as Jey asked why he had to get Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa if he was trying to unite the family.

Rhodes talks about Crown Jewel

Cody Rhodes started the segment by discussing how there will certainly be a Crown Jewel Champion in Saudi Arabia. He then talked about how he would not disparage Gunther or bet against him. Rhodes also talked about how ever since his return to the WWE he has been a fighting champion who has bled, sweat and paid the price of becoming a winner. He was now focused on becoming the inaugural Crown Jewel Champion for his daughter. He then further invited Gunther to be on SmackDown next week.

Roman and Sikoa meet face-to-face

The closing moments of the latest SmackDown episode saw the two Tribal Chiefs stand eye-to-eye inside the ring. Roman Reigns began by asking Columbia to acknowledge him. The former Undisputed Champion then addressed Sikoa and said how he did not feel The Bloodline was stronger now. He felt that the family was divided and broken. Sikoa soon called for Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu to come out. Amid the distraction, Sikoa tried to sneak up on Reigns but the ex-champion levelled him and the rest of The Bloodline. Reigns then placed the Ula Fala around his neck but Sikoa hit him with a low blow. He then told Reigns that he was Tribal Chief as the show went off the air.
