Follow Us
As we have noted earlier, Jey Uso has been absent from his cousin Roman Reigns’ side for a couple of weeks now. At last night’s Royal Rumble, Uso did not make an appearance despite being the first one to declare his entry into the match.
Although there have been some speculations that this might be a storyline, the reason is much more real than that. The former Tag Team Champion last took part in a match with Shinsuke Nakamura in a losing effort on the January 15th episode of SmackDown.

Jimmy last appeared in the Hell in a Cell match between his cousins Jey and Roman, where he stopped the match after throwing a towel. Sources reported Jimmy will be back in the ring very soon.
His wife Naomi made her WWE return in the Royal Rumble after an absence because of fibroid surgery. She entered at number 2 and lasted 46 minutes before Nia Jax eliminated her.
In his singles run so far, Jey Uso has shown a completely different side os his personality. He fought mercilessly in one of the most highly acclaimed matches of WWE at Hell in a Cell last year.
Uso has also been instrumental in solidifying the dominance of ‘Tribal Chief’ Roman Reigns on SmackDown. He attacks and ‘keeps up’ the legacy of the bloodline of the reputed Anoa’i Family.

As we have speculated earlier, a Samoan Bloodline faction with all the existing Anao’i Family members may be on the cards. Jey Uso also weighed in on the matter a while ago.
“The Bloodline will come on and off. That will always be there. But imagine us running that thing full-blown,” Uso told Talksport.“A heel faction. Hell yeah, bro! I wanna see some Samoan Swat Team 2.0 type of things, man. It’s written by itself, right?”
