They stared at each other from across the ring and talked a little trash. Roman Reigns said he only changed because he had to, and Jey Uso said he just did it for the title. They locked up and the challenger was taken down right away with a shoulder block.
A confident Reigns hit a quick suplex and paced around until Uso got back to his feet. The challenger began to build some momentum and hit a couple of suicide dives. He kept talking to The Big Dog as he threw him into the cage wall.
When they got back into the ring, Reigns drilled him with a Spear. He tried to bring a chair into the ring but Uso caught him with a dropkick. Before he could follow up, the champion nailed him with a second Spear. He tried to hit a third but Uso countered and hit a superkick and a Superfly Splash.
Uso grabbed a leather strap from under the ring and used it to whip Reigns across the back. Somehow, The Tribal Chief got to his feet and hit a third Spear. Uso said he couldn't breathe but refused to quit. The titleholder picked up the strap and began unloading on his cousin.
They ended up strapped together and Uso began building up a head of steam. He ended up choking Reigns out with the strap but was unable to get him to say "I quit." Surprisingly, Reigns applied a guillotine and choked Uso out. He begged him to quit but Jey refused. Even Paul Heyman pleaded with Uso to quit so this would stop.
The Tribal Chief dragged Uso to the apron and hit the drive-by dropkick. He put the steel steps next to Jey's head and kicked it as hard as he could. The ref wanted to stop the match but Reigns threw him out of the ring. Several officials came down and tried to stop him, but he locked them all in with him.
After chasing them out of the ring, Reigns yelled at his cousin that this was all his fault. He was about to crush Jey's head with the steps when Jimmy Uso ran down and got in his way. He called Jey by his real name, Josh, as he begged Reigns to stop. The Big Dog broke down crying and sat down next to his cousins. Then he grabbed Jimmy and choked him out as he held Jey's hand.
Jey quit to save his brother and finally end the match. Reigns stood over them with the title held high before leaving with Heyman. Afa and Sika were on the stage to congratulate the champion on his win.
Grade: A+
This was never going to be a technical showdown or an exchange of exciting spots. This was all about the story being told between the two individuals in the ring.
Being able to hear every word they said to each other made everything feel so much more personal. It added weight to an already heavy situation.
Some of the same beats were repeated from their previous encounter but the brutality of this bout made it so much more impactful. This is one of the best storylines WWE has done in 2020, and it's because Uso and Reigns have made it special.
Was this the best HIAC match ever? No, but it may have been the best story told inside it. This was what sports entertainment is all about. The physicality was just as important as the tale.
