3 Reasons Why Jimmy Uso Is the Best Candidate to Challenge Roman Reigns Next

Ever since he betrayed his brother Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso has been trying to find his footing in the SmackDown roster. Initially, he rejected the offer from Roman Reigns, but Jimmy is back to his cousin. Though he does the odd jobs for Reigns every week, there might be a hidden agenda behind Jimmy’s acts.

Roman Reigns will face LA Knight at Crown Jewel, but who will be next in line after Knight, if Reigns retain the title? We take a look at the cues from Jimmy Uso that make him an ideal candidate to be Reigns’ next opponent.

Is Jimmy Uso subtly targeting Roman Reigns?

Though Jimmy Uso is back with The Bloodline, he might not stay there for long. After a successful career in the Tag Division, Jimmy is now on his path to becoming a singles performer. We take a look at the three cues Jimmy Uso will become the next opponent for the Tribal Chief.

Jimmy Uso has been in the face of Roman Reigns for some time now. Since Roman Reigns was not available, Jimmy clung to The Bloodline till The Tribal Chief was back from his slumber.

But Roman Reigns does not seem too enthusiastic about Jimmy’s return. At times, Jimmy Uso does the thing that annoys Reigns whether it is mimicking him or chants like ‘YEET’. At times he acts goofy around Reigns like sleeping on the couch, which further annoys The Tribal Chief. Could this mean that Jimmy Uso isn’t as respectful of Reigns as was before?

Desire to become The Tribal Chief

Jimmy Uso has announced himself as the Tribal Chief on multiple occasions. In his Reigns’ absence, Jimmy Uso tried to take lead of The Bloodline but has not been given any attention.

But the most surprising act from Jimmy was his interference at the main event of SummerSlam. He stopped Jey from becoming the Tribal Chief because he did not want Jey to become like Reigns. But now, Jimmy is back to Roman Reigns and impersonates him. It indicates that Jimmy would want to replace Reigns as the new Tribal Chief.

Impersonating Roman Reigns

He has shown interest in becoming The Tribal Chief, but now he has started to impersonate Roman Reigns. While Reigns was away for 2-months, he took on the mantle of the Tribal Chief.

On the September 29th episode of SmackDown, Jimmy took on the mic from Paul Heyman in a similar manner to Reigns. On the Saturday Night Main Event of October 21st, Jimmy tried to deliver a spear to LA Knight after shouting “Ooh”. Roman Reigns will not acknowledge this behavior from Jimmy.

There is indeed a story to tell between Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns. So far only Jey Uso has faced ‘The Head of the Table’, with his brother watching from the sidelines. Is WWE teasing a future feud between Jimmy and Reigns going by the former’s recent antics. Only time will tell. It will be interesting to see if WWE gives us another twist in The Bloodline saga and goes ahead with a Jimmy Uso vs Roman Reigns feud.
