The Bloodline is sailing close to the wind. The deciding factors inside the faction, for now, are The Usos. After Jimmy Usos’ abrupt betrayal at Night of Champions last month, the central question that strikes the minds of millions was Will Jey Uso fall in line and remain loyal to his Tribal Chief or choose to side with his own brother Jimmy instead?
The Head Of the Table got some major trust issues with the twin brothers ever since they failed to prove their worth at WrestleMania 39. Then, after a series of fiascos of The Usos, Reigns called them out and launched some serious insults. WWE Creative then pulled off the ultimate dramatic turn by making Jimmy strike back. He denied acknowledging the Tribal Chief and eventually double-crossed him at Night of Champions. Reigns obviously has not been sitting still. Along with his special counsel, he is now on the mission of pulling his master card by separating The Usos.

Anticipating that move, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry put his perspective on the current hot take of the wrestling world. The 51-year-old seems to be solely against a breakup between The Usos. He believes it would be bad TV for Jimmy to be all alone against the Bloodline.
The Usos, being an interest-enhancing factor as a tag team, should be wise enough to keep their alliance intact in the face of all plans and schemes against them.
Speaking on the latest episode of the Busted Open podcast, smelling the current situation inside the Bloodline, the veteran noted, ”I hope that The Usos don’t fall for that because I know that was Paul and Roman trying to draw a line between them trying to separate them as brothers, separate them as a tag team in order to get Jimmy to be punished.. or Jey to be punished… And I don’t think that they should fall for it.”
While we can’t guess the next big hook in this iconic family saga as of now, the action-packed SmackDown episode of last night gave us some major moments to retrospect.

Jey faced off against Austin Theory for the United States Title. However, Jimmy showed up in between a segment to complicate the situation. He accidentally super-kicked his brother, depriving him of his chance to pick up the win. But still, it wasn’t enough for Jey to come to a decision regarding his standing in the faction.
It remained a cliffhanger, with Jey neither pledging alliance to the Bloodline nor completely denying his association. Now, with a lot of possible scenarios on the plate, we head to the next chapter of The Bloodline.
