Despite Zayn’s Public Plea, Jey Uso Humiliates Tribal Chief Roman Reigns Days Before Logan Paul Clash

Roman Reigns has been at the center of WWE programming for two years now. He has been in ‘God-mode’ and really looks untouchable as the Undisputed Universal Champion. Not only him but the entire Bloodline storyline with the Usos, Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn have made SmackDown must watch TV, and this week was no different.

After initial hiccups, the Bloodline has solidified itself as the most dominant faction in WWE today. With the inclusion of the entertaining Sami Zayn, the Bloodline has become one of the hottest acts in pro wrestling.

However, there has been some friction within the ranks for some weeks in the group. Things went to another level this week after Jey Uso made a fiery remark regarding Roman Reigns.

Jey Uso disregarded Roman Reigns on SmackDown

This week on SmackDown The Brawling Brutes comprising Butch and Ridge Holland took on Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa in a tag team. After a miscommunication between Sikoa and Zayn, The Brutes picked up an important win.

Jey Uso, who has had problems with Zayn for the last few weeks, confronted the ‘Honorary Uce’ after the loss. This prompted Roman Reigns to come out to the ring alongside Paul Heyman and demanded answers for the defeat. He also asked Jey and Zayn to fix their issues straightway.

Zayn took the first chance and tried to apologize for what he may have done to Jey Uso and said they should bury the hatchet. However, Jey didn’t respond kindly to Zayn’s request and said he didn’t like him around his family every week. The Honorary Uce said he was trying to make peace since ‘The Tribal Chief’ wants peace. To this Jey Uso replied, “I don’t give a damn what the Tribal Chief says”.

“The Head of the Table” was shocked to hear this and turned around to confront Jey. With tension mounting, Sami Zayn stepped in and cooler heads prevailed. Zayn told Reigns Jey wasn’t feeling “too Ucey lately.”

Reigns then told Jey if he didn’t get his act together, he was going to make Zayn a bigger part of the Bloodline. He said, “I’m going to take that honorary away, and I’m gonna make him a full-blown Uce. We’re just going to change his name. You know what that name’s going to be? We’re going to name him Sami Uso ya’ll!”

Although the situation eased off, WWE played the tension between Reigns and Jey Uso perfectly. They have history as Jey fought Reigns over the Universal title, including in a Hell in a Cell match a couple of years ago, before teaming up with his cousin. This was just the right amount of tease to get the fans excited about what could happen next.

With Roman Reigns set to defend his titles against Logan Paul at Crown Jewel next week, it will be interesting to see if this dissention in the Bloodline will play its part in the outcome of the match and will Jey Uso play a key role in it. If the fans needed a reason to watch the Logan Paul vs Roman Reigns match, WWE gave them exactly that.
