On Friday night SmackDown, Jey Uso took on Solo Sikoa in a head-to-head fight before his upcoming high voltage clash against WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Interestingly, Jey surpassed Sikoa by hitting him with Reigns' signature move "the spear". In the climax of their fight, Sikoa seemed determined to win and tried to hit Jey with a Samoan Spike but the former Bloodline member ducked in the nick of time. He then super kicked Sikoa and followed it up with a spear move and an Uso Splash, to win the match.
Among other matches of the night, LA Knight surpassed Sheamus in a head-to-head fight. Zelina Vega conquered Iyo Sky. Austin Theory clashed against Cameron Grimes and defeated him.
Meanwhile, a big announcement was made on Friday that Edge would return to WWE in two weeks and celebrate 25th anniversary of his debut. There are speculations that Edge must announce his retirement upon his return.

At SummerSlam, all eyes will be on Jey on whether he is able to avenge the brutal beatdown and humiliation suffered by his brother Jimmy Uso at the hands of The Tribal Chief.
