Jey Uso etched his name into WWE history at MITB last week. London’s O2 arena witnessed one hell of a moment when the right-hand man of ‘The Tribal Chief’ became the first wrestler to pin him in 1294 days. In an action-packed tag team match featuring The Usos and the heel duo of Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, the twin brothers reconfigured The Bloodline’s hierarchy.
The phenomenal victory against Reigns propelled Jey to the front of the line for a shot at Reigns’ world title, which will most likely take place at SummerSlam. Additionally, it opens the door to many angles that could involve other members of the family. Fans have been largely behind The Usos, expecting them to teach Roman Reigns a final lesson. However, Jey Uso’s recent reaction suggests an interesting turn of events.

The Bloodline Civil War took London’s O2 arena by storm last week. It started off with The Usos entering the squared circle followed by Roman Reigns with ‘The Enforcer’ at his side. After some initial bickering between the family members, the tables turned in The Usos’ favor as the heel duo split up. Sikoa went to the commentary desk, leaving Reigns alone with the former tag team champions. The twin brothers won, with Jey Uso delivering a dramatic splash to ‘The Tribal Chief’.
Fans didn’t hear a word from the brothers after the win. Later on, Jey Uso came forward on Instagram and dropped a surprising message regarding his family. The 37-year-old noted, ‘Had to sit back…And realize what we did..What we’ve done….And what’s to come…regardless, We The Ones Forever.🩸 #TheRealOnes,”

It was a clear indication that something more exciting was cooking. While we aren’t exactly sure about Jey Uso’s current state of mind, his concern for the family is evident in his message. Now, the question is whether his love for the family goes all the way up to the man who, until recently, sat on The Bloodline’s throne.
This might only be clear after SummerSlam. However, with regard to what happens outside the ring, we already know the answer.
Roman Reigns and his cousins behind the kayfabe
Kayfabe deceives you. There is no real-life beef between Roman Reigns and his cousins. The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion has always been keen to help his family achieve great heights. So, he must be happy for his cousin’s success at MITB despite being on the receiving end of The Usos’ wrath.
Some fans believe they witnessed a heartwarming moment between Reigns and his cousins during MITB. When the 38-year-old was on the ground being pinned by Jey, it seems like he says, ‘ I love you’ to his opponent.

Fans caught the off-character moment and took to Twitter to make it known to those who missed it.
It’s fascinating to see how WWE is building towards the gradual end of Roman Reigns’ empire. Some even predict that Cody Rhodes may be dragged into the scene to beat the ‘Big Uce’.
