<p>WWE SmackDown was celebrating a year with The FOX Network as part of this week&#8217;s show and the backlash from Clash of Champions would see Roman Reigns crowned the Tribal Chief. There were also many questions surrounding whether or not WWE would finally pull the trigger on the feud between Reigns and The Fiend over the Universal Championship.</p>

<p>This week&#8217;s show kicked off with Paul Heyman looking to crown Roman Reigns as The Tribal Chief of the entire WWE Universe. Reigns cut Heyman off and called Jey Uso out stating that he couldn&#8217;t be called The Tribal Chief because Jey wouldn&#8217;t acknowledge it.</p>



<p>Jey Uso told Reigns that he didn&#8217;t know him and he wasn&#8217;t his family before The Universal Champion talked about how all he wanted to do was raise him up and he embarrassed and disrespected him. </p>



<p>Reigns then offered his cousin another shot at the Universal Championship at Hell in a Cell but he said the match would have the highest stakes that any match has ever had in WWE history. </p>



<p>Jey Uso then said that whatever the stakes, he is on for their match at Hell in a Cell. AJ Styles then made his way to the ring and attempted to belittle Uso and his claim to the Universal Championship, which was a bad idea. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Jey Uso def. AJ Styles</strong></h2>

</div></figure>



<p>An impromptu match was made between Uso and Styles and it was clear that Jey was in a different mindset. The finish saw the former Tag Team Champion hit three superkicks followed by a splash to build some confidence ahead of Hell in a Cell. </p>



<p><strong>Backstage:</strong> Sami Zayn preached about how he was always the Champion and now he had the titles to prove it. Zayn then put one of the Championships in the trash and stated that after tonight that would be where Hardy&#8217;s Championship reigns would be. </p>

<p>Kevin Owens came over to SmackDown to host an episode of The KO Show with Alexa Bliss. Owens tried to point out how different Alexa Bliss had been in recent weeks but the former Women&#8217;s Champion didn&#8217;t seem to understand. </p>



<p>Bliss tried to explain what it was like to be in the presence of The Fiend but Owens called her brainwashed and she said that she had been changed by The Fiend. </p>



<p>Owens then asked if The Fiend was here and Bliss said he was everywhere and Owens should &#8220;LET HIM IN.&#8221; The Fiend then attacked Owens with The Mandible Claw while Alexa Bliss watched. The Fiend then held out his hand for Bliss and the duo left together. </p>
