It’s been a scary few days for The Usos and for the entire Bloodline in general, so
let’s take a look there at everything that’s going down
It’s no secret at all that The Bloodline has a lot of splits and cracks in it right
now more than ever
Looking back, it appears that the last time The Bloodline was truly united and didn’t
have any issues at was maybe between the time frame of War-Games and before the Royal Rumble
During that period for The Bloodline, Roman Reigns had no issues with The Usos, the main
focal point of Roman’s attention at the time was trying to figure out just how loyal
Sami Zayn was to The Bloodline
That was Roman’s biggest concern and the only true worry that he and the bloodline
really had
But War-Games was the night they once again solved all of their issues
Sami Zayn proved his loyalty by attacking Kevin Owens, Sami won them the match, and
Jey finally embraced Sami Zayn… it was this perfect climax moment of just peace coming
back to The Bloodline
But as we know, the peace didn’t last long, Roman was still all over Sami Zayn, and that
led to the big moment of Roman Reigns crossing the line at Royal Rumble when he asked Sami
Zayn to strike Kevin Owens with a chair
Sami’s argument was that hitting Kevin Owens was pointless because Roman already won the
match and didn’t have anything left to prove, but Roman wanted to keep inflicting pain on
Kevin Owens and when Sami stopped him, Roman told Sami to do it instead
And when we talked about cracks in The Bloodline, this is the exact, pin-point moment right
here that truly broke The Bloodline
Sami strikes Roman with the chair, which absolutely rips Jey Uso apart
Jey knew deep down in his heart that Sami was right and agreed with him, but he knew
he had to stand with his family as well, so that really made him conflicted and that’s
when Jey walked out on Roman Reigns and The Bloodline
So Sami Zayn was now gone from The Bloodline, and Jey Uso went mysteriously missing for
weeks
Jey was refusing Roman’s calls and demands, and continued his walk out, which made Roman
once again cross the line
Roman then threatened to harm Jimmy Uso if Jey didn’t return, and Jey obviously cares
about his twin brother more than anything else, so after Roman made that threat, Jey
was back in a heartbeat
But even though Jey was physically there and back with The Bloodline in that sense, Jey
was still not fully back with The Bloodline from an emotional and mental state at all,
not even close
And that’s something Roman quickly figured out, he figured that Jey only came back in
order to protect Jimmy and not because he actually wanted to be back with the bloodline
And once Jimmy found out about Roman’s threat towards him, Jimmy was even fuming at Roman
too because he thought it was extremely unfair for him to be nothing but loyal to Roman Reigns
but have to pay the consequences for Jey’s actions
So that’s the main back-story to Roman’s issues with The Usos right now
It all stems from that night at Royal Rumble
So there was already this massive tension there between Roman Reigns and The Usos before
Wrestlemania that was being masked up with tons of manipulation and gaslighting
But what happened next just made things so much worse that Roman couldn’t even put
on a fake smile anymore, and that was of course The Usos losing the undisputed tag team titles
in the main event of Wrestlemania
The Usos would come out that following night to assist Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes,
but other than that moment, Roman Reigns and The Usos have not been face to face with each
other since before The Usos lost the tag team titles
Even though there was tension there, Roman was still trying to overlook it because they
still had all their gold, but ones The Usos lost their gold, Roman Reigns has pretty much
softly disowned them
He avoided seeing them on the Raw after Wrestlemania and he did not show up to several shows after
that, just fully cutting off communication with them
And like The Usos said on Smackdown, they confirmed that they’ve had no contact at
all with Roman Reigns since before Wrestlemania
No texts, no E-mails, no calls, no anything at all between themselves and Roman
And in the last few weeks, it looks like Paul Heyman has been Roman’s eyes and ears on
The Usos and everything that they’re up to
And also for several weeks now, The Usos have been completely left out of the loop on several
Bloodline related things
Things such as Roman’s deal with The Judgment Day
Roman, Heyman, and Solo knew about the deal…
but not The Usos
And there’s also been several teasers of Paul Heyman, Solo Sikoa, and Roman Reigns
having a secret backup plan that they have in store for The Usos
The audience sees the clues, everyone sees the clues, except for Jimmy and Jey Uso who
are in denial and still feel like they can fix things
But Jey seems to be a little more alert about what’s happening over Jimmy Uso
Jimmy appears to be more laid back, thinking that everything is gonna be okay and work
out
But Jey Uso is the one that’s viewing the situation through both lenses
Jey knows that if they do well and they get the tag team titles then things could get
better again
But at the same time, Jey has felt Roman’s wrath before, he can see the writing on the
wall, and he can get that sense that something bad is coming
And this is some of the things that Sami has been trying to warn Jey about
Sami has had several backstage conversations with Jey over the last few weeks about the
same similar things
Sami constantly tells Jey that it’s not gonna end well and how they have to get out
while they still can, and Jey may believe some of it, but it was Jimmy Uso who told
Sami to leave them alone and go worry about Kevin Owens instead of Jey
And that leads us to the April 24th edition of Raw
There was one extremely interesting backstage segment where The Usos are sitting down on
a couch while Solo Sikoa stands over them from behind the couch
And even that shot alone could be some heavy symbolism and foreshadowing of what’s to
come, Solo Sikoa is the big threat that could be coming towards The Usos
But Jey turns to Jimmy and tells him that he’s worried about what’s gonna happen
to them if they don’t win back the tag team titles during their Smackdown rematch
And if you go back and closely watch Jey when he says this, you can see that Jey even looks
at Solo Sikoa through the corner of his eye, trying to make a signal to Jimmy Uso about
what he’s referring to, but Jimmy doesn’t get the message and tells Jey that there’s
nothing to worry about
And that brings us to the April 28th edition of Smackdown that once again implied that
there actually is a lot for The Usos to worry about
The first pick of the draft was The Bloodline, but specifically just Roman, Heyman, and Solo
Sikoa
And telling by some of the commentary and other context clues, it sounds like this was
a special request that came from Roman Reigns and Heyman
Since Roman is so disgusted with The Usos, he had Heyman pull a few strings to separate
The Usos and have them get drafted on their own, that was Roman’s personal request just
to have the chance to distance himself from them
And then we cut to Paul Heyman’s usual manipulation tactics.
Heyman tells The Usos that they are getting drafted tonight, they’re getting drafted
to the island of relevancy and how they have to win their match
But while Heyman is talking to The Usos, he’s also handing over some tape to Solo Sikoa
and telling him that tonight is the night
Then again during the main event, Paul Heyman gets a call from Roman Reigns giving Solo
and Heyman the green light to go ahead with whatever their secret plans are for handling
the Usos
But as Solo Sikoa is coming out to take care of that secret business, he gets attacked
by Riddle, preventing him from going through with the plan
The Usos end up losing the title match and Solo Sikoa looks on from the crowd in disgust
So even though the plan hasn’t been revealed to us, the audience, we can basically but
the pieces together and see that the plan was for Solo Sikoa to attack his brothers,
Jimmy and Jey, officially kicking them out of the bloodline
That was literally moments away from happening, but The Usos were basically saved by Riddle
So with this draft situation, Roman’s plan being interrupted, and The Usos losing their
rematch… it definitely seems this situation is far from over and how scary hours could
be coming to The Usos in the very near future
