Following SmackDown, the company revealed a special SummerSlam Go-Home episode of the Blue Brand show, held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. This episode centered on the final build-up to the upcoming pay-per-view events, including a notable segment featuring John Cena and Cody Rhodes, where Cena made a face turn ahead of his title defense. The show concluded with a heated brawl between the teams of Randy Orton & Jelly Roll and Drew McIntyre & Logan Paul, setting the stage for their pay-per-view match.
Additionally, several dark matches took place after SmackDown ended for the live audience. Sheamus secured a victory over Rusev in the first dark match. The second featured the reunion of the USOS, Jimmy and Jey Uso, who faced off against Dominic Mysterio and JD McDonagh. The brothers entertained the crowd with extended entrances before their opponents launched an attack to start the match, culminating in a USOS win, much to the fans’ delight. This marked the USOS’s first reunion since WrestleMania 41, having last teamed up on the March 24 episode of SmackDown during an A-Town tag match.
Fan Take: The USOS reunion is a thrilling moment for WWE fans, signaling a potential return to form for one of the brand’s most beloved teams. This kind of excitement and storyline development is crucial for keeping the audience engaged and could lead to some memorable moments at SummerSlam and beyond in the wrestling world.
