Paul asks when Heyman said he is going to get smashed in the face by the Tribal Chief did he mean Roman Reigns or Jey Uso? Jey then went crazy yelling at him. And Roman stared at Jey, as Sami Zayn gets the microphone and gets in between Roman and Jey and tells them to take a deep breath, reminds Roman he is the head of the table and the Tribal Chief and no one here is challenging that.
