Jey Uso kicked off the WWE SmackDown after Royal Rumble and said that he was there to pick a champion to challenge. Cody Rhodes showed up and said that Jey could either face him at WrestleMania or stand next to him after winning the World Heavyweight Championship.

Cody said that there were a lot of things wrong with him like his elbow, his lower back, etc. but he was still happy to be there and proud to share the ring with Jey. Rhodes said that if Jey chose to challenge him, that meant that they would probably have to stop being friends for a bit.

Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga came out and Fatu said that last year, Cody took the WWE Championship from his family and they needed that title back. A brawl broke out and Jey got a big superkick to break up a move before Cody got the Cody Cutter. Jacob and Tama ran off before we headed for the first match on SmackDown.
