It was an exciting night of WWE action on Friday night, as SmackDown took place in the Thunderdome. The action kicked off with Roman Reigns being crowned as the Tribal Chief following his victory over Jey Uso last weekend. Paul Heyman joined the Big Dog to the ring, before they were swiftly joined by Jey in the middle of the ring.
