On the latest episode of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns and Jey Uso faced Sheamus and King Corbin in a Samoan Street Fight. However, at one point, the WWE Universal Champion was the last man standing and how!

The Rock, who shares a similar background, has often spoken up about how family comes first. Hence, attacking his own blood would be antithetical to Reigns’ values.
