Jey Uso’s dream run started three weeks ago on the September 4 episode of SmackDown. Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns did Uso a favor by adding him to the fatal 4-way match after Big E was attacked and injured backstage. Uso surprisingly turned out the winner and the number one contender for the title.

On the go-home edition of SmackDown, The Big Dog said he loves his cousin and could even hand him the title but Uso won’t know what to do with it. According to him, Uso has always been lurking in the shadows of the family.

At Clash of Champions, Jey Uso started the match by saying, “it does not have to go down like this.” Previously, WWE aired an emotional promo featuring several members of the Anoa’i Family including Jey’s brother Jimmy.
