Dom says Charlotte should smile more often. He says Charlotte is a beautiful woman. Dom says Mami is strong. When she hugs him, she nearly breaks his back.
Charlotte cuts off Dom and says she has a real Latino man at home who calls her Mami with a much thicker accent so she does not know what he is talking about.

He says it’s time for the weather now and it looks like a blacked-out Uncle Howdy briefly does the weather but not really.
Wyatt appears as some sort of game show host now, and “Can You Keep a Secret” is the name of the show. Can you keep a secret? A voice-over continues to make different references to “can you keep a secret?” now – the Channel 6 line-up is only shows called “Can You Keep a Secret.”
We go back to the Funhouse front door and there’s several graphics flashing outside of the door. Wyatt appears somewhere wearing his black mask now. He says, if I told you a story, could you keep a secret? That ends the segment.

Jimmy talks about recent happenings in The Bloodline. He says if Jey isn’t here, he knows he’s watching somewhere and from brother to brother… he knows Jey is torn, hurt, and when he’s hurt, they both hurt. Jimmy just wants to know he’s always here for Jey, just like he needs Jey to be here for him right now. Jimmy says people are talking, saying there’s cracks in The Bloodline. He knows things are crazy, they have a Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens problem, they need to defend their titles. He knows Jey has a problem with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Jimmy says he can’t do this alone.
Zayn enters the ring from the crowd, dressed in all black again. He stares Jimmy down but says he’s not here to fight. Sami knows Jimmy wants to talk to Jey, and Sami would also like to talk to Jey, but right now Sami needs to talk to Jimmy. Sami says hearing Jimmy use the word “brother” breaks his heart because that’s what they were. Sami goes on about how Jimmy had his back from day one when on one else did in The Bloodline. Without Jimmy there is no Honorary Uce, Sami Uso, or Feeling Ucey. Sami says but when things went down at the Royal Rumble, Jimmy didn’t think twice, he took Sami down without hesitation and that hurt. Fans chant “Sami!” as they stare each other down. Jimmy says Sami is so damn selfish. Jimmy says this was all Sami’s fault, he had the chair in his hand and pulled the trigger, stepping on both Jimmy and Jey. Jimmy did what he had to do, that’s what family does. Sami interrupts and says family doesn’t make you prove yourself each week, like Reigns did him, and has done to you and Jey.
Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion Jey Uso appears on the stairs in the crowd now as fans pop. Sami says The Bloodline is not about Reigns, it’s about one man, and if it’s the last thing he does, he will make sure Reigns and The Bloodline come crumbing down. Sami says Jimmy doesn’t have to go down with it, there’s a way out for both of The Usos. Sami looks up at Jey but Jimmy drops him with a cheap shot.
