New Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns sends SmackDown Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso on a mission to unify the Tag Team gold and disposes of Shinsuke Nakamura,. Catch WWE action on Peacock, WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.

Roman Reigns took out Shinsuke Nakamura and ordered The Usos to unify the Tag Team Title
After capturing the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns challenged SmackDown Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso to go to Raw and unify the Tag Team Titles. Then, when Shinsuke Nakamura interrupted The Bloodline to presumably take issue with what happened to Rick Boogs at WrestleMania, Reigns introduced him to The Island of Relevancy with a hug. This ploy, however, opened The King of Strong Style to received a double Superkick from Jimmy and Jey.
