Theory and Pretty Deadly were able to score the win on SmackDown, but the U.S. Champ took exception with comments on The SmackDown LowDown suggesting it's shocking that he found friends.

"You think it's shocking that I have friends? How long have you been working here? I'm the greatest United States Champion, I have so many friends," Theory said. "I got a lot of friend requests and I'm not talking about social media apps. I'm talking about real life. You ever had a real life friend request?"
