As SummerSlam 2023 came to an end earlier this month, fans saw a brand new twist in the Bloodline drama. The aftermath of Roman Reigns versus Jey Uso saw new developments take place within the family. Fans saw Jimmy Uso betray Jey Uso, but not join Roman Reigns. The following SmackDown episode saw Jey Uso taking down his brother and quitting WWE. Since then there has been no update on his return until now, which will get the fans excited.
The story following SummerSlam has not progressed. The Bloodline superstars did not travel to Canada, and the next SmackDown episode was a tribute show for the recently departed Bray Wyatt. However, despite quitting WWE, fans might have spotted the exact return date of the former Right-Hand man of The Tribal Chief.
When is Jey Uso potentially returning to WWE?

The Bloodline family drama is one of the most talked about storylines going on in the company right now. With several top superstars involved, fans wanted Jey Uso to defeat Roman Reigns at SummerSlam to finally receive his moment. But interference from his own twin brother cost him the chance and left him distraught. A livid Jey Uso said he had enough and quit WWE on the following SmackDown.
Playing up to the angle, WWE also moved Jey Uso’s name to their alumni section on their official website. But now a recent promotional poster might have revealed the former WWE tag-team champion’s return date to the promotion. WWE’s own website for Fastlane 2023 states Jey Uso as a featured superstar for the event. It also includes other names such as Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and Asuka.
Fastlane 2023 is scheduled to take place on 7th October 2023, and the promotional poster for it has Jey Uso featured on it. Although these appearances are always subject to change, keeping The Bloodline or Jey Uso off TV beyond this date might not be ideal for WWE. Hence, we could see Jey Uso return in some capacity at Fastlane, which is still more than a month away.

Jey Uso quitting WWE was always a part of the storyline, but with him being absent from programming since his announcement and WWE also moving him to the list of alumni, they have been doing a good job of building up the angle for the long term.
Within the next one and a half months, fans could know if Jey Uso is actually returning to Fastlane, or has his match against Jimmy Uso is planned for a later date.
Will Jey Uso versus Jimmy Uso take place at WrestleMania 40?
A few months ago, The Usos had stated their wish to face each other at a WrestleMania during their interview with Ariel Helwani. And, now with the current development in their story, fans and critics wonder if WWE is going to take their path.

With Jey Uso now missing, WWE might develop Jimmy Uso as a singles competitor. Before making Jey Uso return at Royal Rumble (if he fails to return at Fastlane) and cost Jimmy Uso his chance. This might later lead to a bout between the two twin brothers at WrestleMania 40.
It will be difficult for WWE to keep the interest of fans from now till WrestleMania if that is the path they want The Usos to follow to settle their score. There is also a chance we may see more than one match with the final score being settled in Philadelphia next year on the “Grandest Stage of Them All.”
