Jimmy starts talking, saying the Usos are back together and the Bloodline is in your city. Jey says the big question of the whole week and pauses just long enough for “Sami!” chants to start. People have asked him why he betrayed Sami Zayn like that, and he gets visibly emotional.
He waits a long beat before asking us to switch roles and step into his shoes, and asks what we’d do. Your family’s car breaks down you give them a ride, they get groceries you feed them, their power’s gonna get shut off you pay the bill. He did it because he had to.
the usos are finally back in full force#smackdown pic.twitter.com/NA82wV0XCK

He didn’t want to do it, but he had no choice, and he never had a choice, because Jimmy is his blood, his twin brother, and his family, not Sami or any of us. You wanna blame him, you don’t know what he goes through. We sit in the stands or in our living room and we don’t know what he’s going through.
There’s one person he blames, and that’s Sami Zayn. His brother was about to get clipped, what was he supposed to do? Sami’s selfish, he claims, all he had to do was fall in line, but he didn’t know anything about that because his ass ain’t blood and it never will be.
Jimmy says since they got rid of the Sami Zayn problem, Cody Rhodes is the only problem left. He asks what Cody’s issue is—

Enter Cody Rhodes.
He says he keeps hearing his name and if you’re gonna talk about him, talk to him. They say they answer to Roman Reigns, well he doesn’t, he answers to the fans, and it sounds like they don’t want to hear them talk, they’d rather see him fight.

He tells Rey the only hall of fame he should be in is the Deadbeat Dad Hall of Fame, and he should have been Eddy Guerrero’s son. Mysterio the Elder begs his son to listen but Dominik shoves him into the ropes and taunts him, begging him to fight.
Gana The Judgment Day gracias a que Rey Mysterio entró al ring y Dominik aprovecha la distracción, al final, Dominik se dirigió a su padre pidiéndole que se atreva a golpearlo pero logra sacarlo del ring #SmackDown #ZonaSmackDown pic.twitter.com/RtO9StcUGn

Rey has a low bridge for him when he charges and Dom screams at him, but he still refuses to fight his son.
We go to break with a Top Gun vignette starring Miz and Maryse.
Back from commercial we get a recap of our opening match.
We cut to Drew McIntyre and Sheamus loudly arguing about it backstage as Ridge Holland and Pete “Butch” Dunne try to calm them down.
Rey Mysterio is announced as our first inductee into the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame class.

Rey makes his entrance and gets on the mic to talk about it—
Enter Judgment Day.
Dominik Mysterio gets on the mic and calls his father pathetic and says he’s a washed-up old man being inducted into the Hall of Fame. He says Rhea Ripley was right and he’s ashamed to be Rey’s son.
Enter Legado del Fantasma.
Well its going to be a hell of a weekend!@reymysterio @DomMysterio35#WWE #WrestlemaniaHollywood #TripleH #WrestleMania #WrestleMania39 #WrestleManiaGoesHollywood #WWEWrestlemania #Smackdown #SDLive #WWESmackdown #WWEHOF #WWEHOF2023 #WWEHallOfFame #ReyMysterio #TheJudgmentDay https://t.co/4sikbMTVh6

Santos Escobar says Rey may have let go of what Dom did last week, but he hasn’t. Legado and Judgment Day are supposed to have a match later tonight, but he wants to fight now!
Referee Jason Ayers runs down to officiate but we go to break before the bell!
Referees and wrestlers argue afterwards while the crowd chants for a triple threat.
Paul Heyman is interviewed backstage.
He’s distracted and admits he wasn’t paying attention to a question about Jey Uso and decides to talk about Cody Rhodes, saying that Roman’s been champion for a thousand days and every time a new challenger comes along he talks to Paul about how to handle them.
“The truth is @WWERomanReigns is the GOAT, #PaulHeyman is the GOAT, The @WWEUsos are the GOATs…and when we’re aligned, together The #Bloodline cannot be stopped.” – @HeymanHustle #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/MiSs0fgvdc
— WWE India (@WWEIndia) March 11, 2023
Do they do it like gangsters, play mind games so that the opponents is beaten before they even get in the ring, or do they tell the truth that the Bloodline are the greatest of all time. And he’ll be honest, Cody Rhodes is a stylistic nightmare and the one man he never wanted to see against Reigns, and Roman said the most gangster thing they could do to him is smash him with the truth.

Because the truth will put emotional baggage on Cody such that when he walks int othe ring at WrestleMania, he’ll already be beaten. And then the only story left for Rhodes to tell will be when he takes his shoulders off the mat after beating pinned and then he has to pick the time and place when he finally acknowledges his tribal chief, Roman Reigns.
Commentary promises us our first inductee for the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame class, and so we go to break.

He’s all smiles for Jey but he just wants to see Roman Reigns. Paul cuts him off with a hug and tells him the Tribal Chief is so proud and so is he. Jey says when he finds out where Roman is, he should tell him he’s here.

An interview rolls up and Jey says he’ll say everything he needs to say in the middle of the ring tonight. Jimmy adds that Kayla Braxton should go talk to Cody Rhodes and ask him why he’s all up in the Bloodline’s business if she wants to be nosy.
"Everything I need to say, I'mma say it in the middle of that ring tonight."
Jimmy and Jey @WWEUsos are finally back together, but after everything that's gone down in #TheBloodline, what will Jey have to say for himself? 👀#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/6zYV3I72LU
