But the most surprising act from Jimmy was his interference at the main event of SummerSlam. He stopped Jey from becoming the Tribal Chief because he did not want Jey to become like Reigns. But now, Jimmy is back to Roman Reigns and impersonates him. It indicates that Jimmy would want to replace Reigns as the new Tribal Chief.

He has shown interest in becoming The Tribal Chief, but now he has started to impersonate Roman Reigns. While Reigns was away for 2-months, he took on the mantle of the Tribal Chief.

On the September 29th episode of SmackDown, Jimmy took on the mic from Paul Heyman in a similar manner to Reigns. On the Saturday Night Main Event of October 21st, Jimmy tried to deliver a spear to LA Knight after shouting “Ooh”. Roman Reigns will not acknowledge this behavior from Jimmy.

There is indeed a story to tell between Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns. So far only Jey Uso has faced ‘The Head of the Table’, with his brother watching from the sidelines.
