“Wait, What!” – ECW Legend Explains Why Jimmy Uso Landed Himself in the “Island of Irrelevancy” Without Losing to Roman Reigns

Summer Slam ended with a cliffhanger. Just when people thought the Bloodline saga is ending, Jey Uso‘s redemption was cut short by his brother. During the main event of Friday Night SmackDown, we got our answers from Jimmy Uso, but it has not convinced many, including Jey Uso.

Not convinced by his brother’s reason for the betrayal, Jey left WWE after landing a super-kick to his brother Jimmy. An ECW legend is among people who are surprised by Jimmy’s reason.

ECW legend Tommy Dreamer shocked by Jimmy Uso’s turn

Former ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer was invited on The Busted Open Podcast with host Dave LaGreca. In the Podcast, Tommy Dreamer discussed the ongoing Bloodline story arc with Jimmy’s turn on his brother, Jey Uso. Jimmy’s explanation in the main event of SmackDown surprised him.

Dreamer said, “Last night I felt that explanation was, wait what! Maybe a text message as opposed to a super kick, and I get it, it’s pro wrestling. Because here is a few things. Jimmy, his explanation; it kinda leaves him on an island of irrelevancy where Paul Heyman always talks about that if you lose to Roman Reigns, that’s gonna happen.”

Dreamer thinks Jimmy’s explanation was illogical and left Jimmy on the island of irrelevancy, a spin-off form of Paul Heyman’s catchphrase. As per Jimmy, he did not want Jey to win the Tribal combat and get corrupted by the power, just like Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. So, he did that to save Jey Uso. In the end, Jey did not buy the excuse and super-kicked Jimmy.

Dreamer explained why he did not buy Jimmy’s turn at Summer Slam. In Dreamer’s words, Jimmy said, “I no longer associate with the Bloodline coz I straight up said, I did not do it for you. I don’t like you. You are an a**hole [Jimmy to Reigns]. He said it to his face to his brother. He gave his brother an explanation ‘alright brother I’ll see you later’.”

The whole drama surrounding Jimmy’s turn was unveiled during the main event of SmackDown last Friday. Reigns thought that Jimmy wanted to be a part of Reigns’ empire again but Jimmy Uso explained to a delusional Reigns that he did not do it for Reigns.

Dreamer disappointed with Jey walking off of WWE

Tommy Dreamer also commented upon the finishing line from Jey “And I’m leaving WWE.” Jey Uso called his brother Jimmy and then super-kicked him before ending the Friday show with his confusing line.

Dreamer said “That last line of ‘And I’m leaving WWE’ was another one wait what! When I talk about popular baby faces Jey I’m like man you are there. I have you, I have Cody, I have Seth. I have like you three and now you’re gonna leave.” Dreamer feels that there are not many top baby faces on the roster, it’s Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, and Jey Uso. So, it will be a tough challenge to balance the storyline with Jey’s undefined absence.

Jey and Jimmy had shown interest in feuding with each other. But the reason for the feud has not convinced wrestling fans. So we will have to wait to see how Jey’s story unfolds in this Bloodline saga.
