Over the last few weeks, Jimmy Uso’s superkicks have been dominating WWE. His dual kicks to Roman Reigns widened the chink on The Bloodline’s armor at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. On the latest episode of SmackDown, the move again caused ripples within the faction.
However, this time it was his brother Solo Sikoa, who engineered the sequence. As per the latest standing, it could prove fatal for one of the most dominating pairs in the history of the WWE.

At the Jeddah Superdome, the elder Uso brother was spot on with his kicks as Roman Reigns lost to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. The loss wasn’t as bad as the humiliation that preceded it. This time, however, Jimmy Uso missed the mark and cost his twin Jey Uso a title match.

Jey was jostling United States Champion Austin Theory in a singles title match. Seeing his brother being obstructed by Pretty Deadly’s Elton Prince and Kit Wilson, Jimmy Uso jumped to the rescue. Solo Sikoa, his other brother, tried to stop him and almost hit one-half of the former Undisputed Tag Team Champions, but his move was foiled by Jey Uso. Angry, Jimmy Uso loaded and hit a brutal superkick, but instead of Solo Sikoa, who took evasive action, hit his twin.
Taking advantage of his dazed opponent, Theory pinned him and managed to retain the belt following the win. Jey Uso was thoroughly unhappy with the interference from his elder twin and showed his disdain publicly. He also walked out of the ring and passed his younger brother Sikoa and Wise Man Paul Heyman, who watched the action unfold. While the behavior hurt Jimmy, one man couldn’t contain his excitement.
Are The Usos heading for a split?
As soon as Jey Uso walked past him, Heyman was seen uttering: “Call Roman Reigns”. While it’s not clear, it looks like the 57-year-old is now colluding with Reigns to break apart the bond between the brothers. He started the SmackDown segment by planting seeds of doubt in Jey’s mind.
On the last episode of SmackDown, Reigns predicted that Jey Uso would fall in line as always after Jimmy Uso humiliated The Big Dog yet again. This week, Heyman told the younger twin that Reigns envisions him as the next Tribal Chief. The legendary manager also said that there’s no tag team called The Usos anymore because of Jimmy.

Thus, it’s clear that Reigns and Heyman, and possibly Sikoa, are following a blueprint that’ll spell the doom for the former tag team champions. The WWE Universe, however, will have to wait for the next episodes to find out developments in the storyline.
