However, Heyman did what he always does best. As he started hyping Jey Uso up, he also started planting seeds of animosity between the two twin brothers. He started pitching Jey against Jimmy, and vice versa.

And as the episode progressed, fans probably saw a future barrier between the two twin brothers on-screen.

Is Reigns pitting Jimmy Uso against Jey Uso?

Jey Uso was offered a United States Championship match against Austin Theory in the same episode. However, as the match progressed, fans saw interferences from Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso. However, as Jey Uso was on the verge of winning the title, Pretty Deadly and Solo Sikoa decided to spoil the plans.

Pretty Deadly would come to the aid of Austin Theory. However, Jimmy Uso ran in to make the save but was attacked by Solo Sikoa. Later, as Jimmy Uso tried attacking Sikoa down, he would involuntarily hit his brother Jey Uso. And, instead, give the win away to Theory.

Jey Uso would leave the arena disappointed in both Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa. WWE fans now need to wait and see what unfolds next in this family drama of The Bloodline.
