“One Of the Best Things I’ve Seen”- Undertaker Comments on Roman Reigns-Jey Uso Storyline

The Undertaker has been one of the greatest performers in WWE history. Taker is an outstanding storyteller, and his matches against the likes of Shawn Michaels and Brock Lesnar prove that Undertaker can tell an amazing story against any kind of opponent.

In an interview with SPORF, the ‘Deadman’ commented on what he thinks is one of WWE’s best storylines.

Undertaker is a fan of the Roman Reigns-Jey Uso story

Roman Reigns vs Jey Uso has emerged as one of the genuine surprises of the year. The rivalry between the cousins advanced into a bitter, intense feud. This later turned into an alliance between Jey Uso and Roman Reigns.

The pair clashed in two high profile PPV matches at Clash of Champions and Hell in a Cell, respectively. Reigns won both matches in startling fashion. He tapped into a dark side and brutalized his cousin. In the process, he established himself as the top heel in wrestling.

The Undertaker revealed that he thinks the Roman Reigns-Jey Uso storyline is the best thing in WWE.

“One of the best things that I’ve seen done on WWE TV recently is the feud between Jey Uso and Roman Reigns. That, to me, has been great storytelling, and people that understand, people that understand the Samoan heritage and legacy, know how important all that stuff is to them.”

Reigns vs Uso is a masterclass in storytelling

Taker’s words ring true, given the stakes of their matches. At Hell in a Cell, the pair delivered an emotional war of attrition, where Reigns destroyed both Jey and Jimmy Uso to ensure his opponent quit.

Because Jey lost, he and his family were kicked out of the larger Samoan family, unless Jey aligned with Roman.

Since then, Jey Uso has also accessed his dark side, engaging in some brutal beatdowns on Smackdown. He cheated to beat Kevin Owens in singles action and destroyed Daniel Bryan to qualify for Survivor Series.

His change in attitude is due to his new allegiance to the Tribal Chief.

Undertaker gives classic advice to young wrestlers

“Storytelling at the root is what we do, and that’s what I try to tell the young talent. Right now, if you watch our product, as gifted as our athletes are, and they are physically unbelievably gifted, more so than eve at any other point. But what we do is storytelling, and you know that’s the most important part, in my opinion,” said Undertaker.

If there’s any rivalry that’s doing the concept of storytelling any justice, its Roman Reigns vs Jey Uso. No other story even comes close, and even the Undertaker concurs with this fact.
