The Usos (Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso) opened up the July 7 episode of WWE SmackDown, ready to address their victory over Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa at WWE Money in the Bank.

Before the Usos could get rolling on the microphone, they were interrupted by Paul Heyman, who was flanked by Sikoa. Heyman was ready to represent Reigns in the Tribal Court, but the Usos told him to shut up. Heyman said only one man could tell him to shut up when Sikoa cut him off and toss the microphone to the outside.

Reigns eventually made his way to the ring. After asking the crowd to acknowledge him, Reigns acknowledged that he got pinned at WWE Money in the Bank by Jey Uso. Reigns said he's still the Tribal Chief and wondered why Tribal Court was taking place when he did not call for it.

The Usos pushed back, showing a video of Reigns manipulating the Bloodline over the years as Exhibit A. Reigns said the person in the video was not who he is, it was who he was forced to be. He said he had to do it for his the Usos and Solo. Reigns said he was a WrestleMania main eventer before the Bloodline, but he turned into that person to lift everyone else up. He said he didn't need the power or the money, and that he's done.

Roman put the lei on Jey and kneeled to him before hitting him with a low blow. Jimmy attacked Reigns, but he was pulled off by Solo. Solo stood over the lei before hitting the Samoan Spike on Jimmy. Reigns asked for Solo to place the lei in his hand, but Jey attacked.

Reigns & Solo continued to assault the Usos. Jey was tied up in the ropes as Roman decimated Jimmy. Roman proclaimed that Jey would not be the Tribal Chief as long as he's alive.

The segment closed with Jey being buried in announcer chairs while Solo hit a splash on Jimmy through the announcer's table. Jimmy was stretchered out of the arena.

The Usos won the Bloodline Civil War at WWE Money in the Bank with Jey Uso pinning Roman Reigns. It marked Reigns' first pinfall or submission loss since December 2019.
