Roman #Roman
By Richard Trionfo on 2021-06-11 21:59:00
We start off with a look at last week when Roman Reigns told the Usos to ‘fix their problem’ only to have Roman exacerbate the situation.
We are in Tampa, Florida and your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.
We see Roman watching himself on television from the comfort of his comfy chair and Jey is not looking at Roman.
Roman says he saved them last week. Y’all owe me. What is the one thing that I will not stand for?
Jey says not to embarrass the family.
Roman says that he knows Jey understands that, but does his brother.
While Roman lectures Jey, we hear Jimmy Uso’s music and he makes his way to the ring.
Jimmy says last week was supposed to be a celebration. We were supposed to be seven time champions but we were robbed. I am not trying to make excuses, I am spitting facts. First the referee blew the call because my shoulders were up. That is cool because we got a chance to redeem ourselves. Then out he came, the head of the table to stick his nose in our business. You had to make it about you. Jimmy says he thinks Roman got them disqualified on purpose.
We see Roman sitting in his chair while Jimmy calls him out.
Jimmy says you came out and attacked Rey and Dominik. You almost knocked his head off his shoulders. Jimmy says he knows what the issue is. He says that Roman is jealous. You are jealous I am back and I want my brother with me. You are jealous that we want to represent the family and hold gold, just like you.
Jimmy says I see through you. All of those mind games. You are trying to tear Jey away from me. I am my brother’s keeper, not you. Tonight, hear me when I say this. I promise I am going to do something I won’t regret.
Roman tells Jey that Jimmy isn’t his brother and he won’t be confused with Jimmy like Jey will. Roman tells Jey to take care of it.
We go to commercial.
We are back and Jimmy asks Jey if he really thinks they could have won the titles and Jey says he does. Jimmy asks if they were mad that they got DQed. Jimmy says it can’t be like this no more. When I ask you to go with me, you froze. You are my brother, my family, my friend. Jimmy says you want to talk about a family disgrace, Roman is disgracing the family.
Jey says Jimmy was gone for a year and I am loyal to the Tribal Chief. Jey asks Jimmy what to do.
Jimmy says if Roman wants to see me, I’ll be in our locker room.
