Jey Uso seems like he has a lot that he’s frustrated with at the moment, so we’ll
dive into what could be going on there with his story.
We’ll also check out a live mistake from Smackdown, and much more
Let’s start things off with another visit to The Bloodline’s story
The opening segment from the September 23rd edition of Smackdown accomplished so much
and hinted at a lot of possible directions for multiple storylines in the future
We talked about how Sami Zayn basically got his official introduction to The Bloodline
and how that’ll eventually lead to his babyface turn down the line once they turn on him
We also talked about how Roman Reigns is now openly disrespecting the elders of his family
and how that may turn around to bite him in the future as well
But now let’s get into Jey’s story because everyone can see it and everyone knows there’s
something wrong there
So what exactly is Jey’s issue?
Well on the surface, you would obviously say that his issue is directly related to Sami
Zayn
And that’s technically not wrong, but there’s a chance that Jey’s growing frustrations
goes much deeper than just Sami Zayn
The Bloodline, Roman and The Usos, have been teaming with each other for many years now
They even had a small babyface run together towards the end of 2019
And that version of the Bloodline was completely unrecognizable when compared to today’s
version
Back then, the bloodline was smiley babyfaces that were throwing dog food on their opponents
and that same level of seriousness just wasn’t there at the time
You fast forward 8 months after that and everything started to change with Roman’s return and
new attitude
Roman quickly captured the universal title and began his historic title reign
And who was the first opponent Roman Reigns faced?
It was Jey Uso
And at the time, Jey was babyface, but he still had this edge to him where he felt like
he could take down Roman Reigns.
He wasn’t scared of Roman
And everyone knows what happened after that, some fans still think it’s the best feud
Roman had throughout his entire title reign
Roman brutally beats down both Jey and Jimmy Uso to retain his title and claim the top
spot within the family without any disputes
Thunderdome Roman Reigns was a whole different character even compared to current day Roman
Despite still being a heel, current day Roman Reigns cracks more smiles and is a bit more
friendlier when compared to Thunderdome Roman
Thunderdome Roman never even cracked a smile and truly was this mafia boss sort of character
Everyone was afraid to approach him in any way, especially considering what he had just
finish doing to his own cousins
So this version of Roman was a monster heel, just a this super villain sort of character
that didn’t entertain any nonsense at all
This version of Roman was also the same version that basically used brutal force to get Jey
Uso to fall in line and join him
Although he was forced to submit and join Roman at first, Jey eventually bought in to
everything that Roman was selling and supported his beliefs
Which elevated Jey’s status in WWE and that’s when he started to get that nickname of “Main
Event Jey Uso”
Then Jimmy came along and again, it was the same sort of thing
Jimmy was hesitant at first, but eventually bought into Roman and Jey’s ways
And once the three of them were on the same page with their brutal ways, they all took
off and win even more championship gold
So all this stuff, even the 2020 feud between Roman and Jey is still relevant right now
in today’s story because this is probably all the things that are going on within Jey’s
head
In Jey’s mind, he’s probably still thinking like Thunderdome Roman Reigns and still has
that same sort of mentality
If you’re not family, if you’re wasting their time with nonsense, he just wants to
attack you and get rid of you
That same sort of brutal mentality that The Bloodline had in the Thunderdome
But as Jey’s looking around, he’s basically the only Bloodline member that hasn’t changed
their ways
Everyone else around him has lost their edge and has become a bit more soft, even Roman
Reigns included
Thunderdome Roman probably would’ve laid Sami Zayn out within a few weeks.
He wasn’t gonna deal with that
But 2022 Roman Reigns is smiling, hugging Sami Zayn, and giving him new shirts, entertaining
it, and that’s what probably has Jey Uso so lost and confused
Jey is probably wondering why are they all entertaining Sami Zayn
Jimmy has a personal handshake with Sami, Solo Sikoa is being the enforcer for Sami,
and even Roman is cool with Sami now
so when the camera zooms in on Jey’s face and he looks all lost, it’s probably because
he’s wondering about what happened to that Bloodline attitude that they had in 2020 and
2021
Roman could also very well be lying to Sami Zayn and this could all be a part of another
massive manipulation plan, but if it was, then why can’t Roman just let Jey Uso in
on the plans so that he can calm down
You can tell that Roman even let Jey out of the loop about the Sami Zayn T-shirt
Jey goes to rip sami’s shirt off, yelling at him, thinking the long awaited beatdown
of Sami Zayn was finally here, but he was completely unaware that Roman had a new shirt
for Sami
So that’s another hint that Jey is just completely out of the know right now
It’s very interesting and could point to a lot tension blowing up within The Bloodline
Jey is still aware that whatever Roman says goes, that’s why he still hasn’t put any
hands on Sami Zayn
But will it eventually get to the point where Jey will put hands on Sami Zayn and would
then have to answer to Roman Reigns again?
That’s most definitely possible and how ironic would it be if the fall of the bloodline
is partially thanks to an outsider that they let into the group
Would just an insane situation and story all around, but definitely keep your eye on Jey
Uso because a lot is going through the character’s mind right now for sure

It’s being reported that WWE had a little live issue with a prop on Smackdown
This all went down during Karrion Kross and Drew McIntyre’s announcement segment for
their strap match
During this segment, Scarlett attempted to through a fireball at Drew McIntyre
This isn’t the first time that WWE has used these fire throwing flash paper products at
all
But the circumstances were much different the last few times that WWE used it
Karrion Kross and Scarlett used it in 2020 and Alexa Bliss used it in the Thunderdome
as well, but the difference was that segments could’ve been pre-recorded at that time,
so they could’ve done it over and over until they got it right
Obviously, you can’t do that on live television.
You got one chance to get it right and that’s it
it was reported that there were some issues with the flash paper Scarlett was using, so
when she went to throw it at Drew’s direction, it was supposed to hit him right in the face
and he would sell it
But in the live moment, it barely touched him and it would look to goofy if he over
sold something that barely hit him
So it was reported that after the flash paper went wrong, everything that went down after
that was completely improvised and made up on the spot by Karrion Kross and Drew McIntyre
So Kross and McIntyre definitely saved the segment there by thinking of something on
the spot that worked perfectly and still got them to the story point that they had to reach
Kross and McIntyre are expected to meet at Extreme Rules in that strap match that could
very well main event the show
And with all the White Rabbit teasers and rumors in the air, who knows if we could see
something go down during that match as well
