The closing events of the Royal Rumble had the wrestling world buzzing. After Roman Reigns defeated Kevin Owens to retain the WWE Undisputed Universal title, he followed that up with a vicious beatdown of Owens along with the rest of The Bloodline. But after demanding Sami Zayn strike Owens down with a chair, ‘The Honorary Uce’ turned on Reigns and hit him with a chair shot heard around the world.

This led to Jimmy Uso kicking down Zayn and asking his brother to join in. However, Jey Uso was having none of it and walked out of the ring. Since then Jey Uso made an Instagram post hinting at his Bloodline future and things got really tense in the family after he didn’t show up on SmackDown this week. Later, Jey Uso posted a story on his Instagram with a cryptic message.

The fallout from the Royal Rumble continued on this week’s episode of SmackDown after Roman Reigns confronted Jimmy Uso about the whereabouts of his brother. The Head of the Table asked him if he heard from him. When Jimmy said he hasn’t, an agitated Reigns said it was “disrespectful” of him to walk out and not have any communication after that.

He then asked him about the tag team title match The Usos have next before reiterating the urgency during WrestleMania season. The Tribal Chief said he wanted to know where Jey was and ordered Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso to find him.
