Roman Reigns faces his cousin, Jey Uso, at Clash of Champions
Jey Uso was the surprise winner of the Fatal 4-way match on SmackDown as he set up a clash with cousin Roman Reigns at Clash of Champions.
Uso is mostly known for his tag team heroics with Jimmy, his brother. However, this came as a bit of a surprise as the others in the match were Matt Riddle, Baron Corbin and Sheamus.
Nevertheless, Jey now gets a crack at Reigns and the Universal title will be on the line too. This is going to be an interesting clash, especially with Reigns turning heel after his WWE return.
The Big Dog defeated The Fiend and Braun Strowman to win the Universal title. Not only that, but his return was also great as he attacked both of his rivals at SummerSlam. Reigns has now teamed up with Paul Heyman and he seems to be continuing his heelish ways too.
The Big Dog was also surprised at Jey getting the win and chimed that normally he needs help from his brother:
Good on uce. Wasn’t sure he could do it on his own. #WWEClash https://t.co/2P7jNBrjyI

This was a bit of a low blow from Reigns but it goes well with his new character in WWE.
All hail Reigns
Reigns was to win the title at WrestleMania but backed out as the coronavirus pandemic spread. However, a heel Reigns could be great for business, especially with Brock Lesnar a free agent.
WWE needs someone that can be the main heel and Reigns is doing a great job. Teaming up with Heyman is the perfect way to go about it, and it is paying off already.
The Big Dog is probably heel for the first time since he broke into WWE with the Shield. He should be the favourite to defeat Jey at Clash of Champions.
However, it will be interesting to see how he does it and what happens after this PPV.
