2020 WWE Clash of Champions results, recap, grades: Roman Reigns ruthlessly tears his family apart

Universal Championship -- Roman Reigns (c) vs. Jey Uso -- Uso and Reigns immediately locked up in a collar and elbow with Reigns pushing Uso into the corner. The two then stared each other down. Uso then started to try to use speed and misdirection to avoid the champ's offense, but Reigns quickly took back over, shoving Uso into the ropes and saying, "I told you." Reigns continued to dominate, cutting off every moment of Uso's attempts to come back before Uso landed a flurry of strikes, ending in a Samoan drop for a two-count. Reigns struck back with a big Superman punch, but Uso rolled out of the ring to avoid the count. Reigns continued to lash out, battering Uso and taunting him, taking chops and battering his cousin with massive punches. Uso made a hot comeback, knocking Reigns from the ring, hitting a suicide dive and bringing him back into the ring before hitting a superkick for a two count. Uso reversed the spear into a pin for a near fall before he hit a superkick and top-rope splash for a near fall, but Reigns' kick out also involved a low blow.

Reigns began to demand Uso call him his chief and said, "Acknowledge me as your tribal chief." After Uso refused, Reigns hit a spear. Reigns then held Uso's face in front of the camera and demanded Uso tell the world this is his camera, his WWE and that he is the tribal chief. Uso responded, "not today," frustrating Reigns, who told Heyman that all that mattered was Uso acknowledging it. Reigns then dropped punch after punch on Reigns until the referee pulled him off. Reigns told the referee not to address him again or he would no longer have a job. Jimmy Uso ran to ringside, saying he was going to throw in the towel, but Jey told him not to do it. Jey begged him not to throw in the towel, so Reigns pulled him to the center of the ring and continued dropping punches until Jimmy threw in the towel for the ifnish. Jimmy said, "We're family, what the hell is wrong with you. You're the chief, you're the tribal chief, just leave him alone." This was a wonderful brawl and really drove home Reigns' new heel character, establishing him as a remorseless monster who cares more about his place in the world than "doing the right thing." Uso played his part wonderfully, working as the underdog and battling as the underdog who had no real hope of beating his bigger, stronger, better cousin. I wasn't completely in love with the finish, but there's something to be said for Uso battering his family to the point where someone had to step in and make the sane decision to end things. Roman Reigns (c) def. Jey Uso via stoppage to retain the title. Grade: A-
