Welcome to the Smackdown review for February 3, 2023
Payback
When the Bloodline arrived, Jey was nowhere to be seen. During the broadcast, Roman sent his brother to go find him. At the top spot, Roman and Paul Heyman came out. Roman talked about how hard this has been for him. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Sami jumped the Tribal Chief and beat him to the ground. He even speared Roman at one point. He declared that he was coming after Roman’s Title at Elimination Chamber. Solo and Jimmy attacked and Roman got the last word, saying that Sami destroyed his family, now he will destroy Sami in front of his.
No notes here, just perfection all around. Sami’s pop in Canada is going to be nuclear.
