Jimmy and Jey Uso, the Uso brothers, have been powerhouses in WWE’s tag team division for years. However, differences over the Bloodline’s ideologies caused a split, leading Main Event Jey to the Raw roster after the WWE Draft. As months passed, the landscape changed dramatically. Roman Reigns vanished after his defeat to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania, while Jimmy Uso was expelled from Solo Sikoa’s new version of The Bloodline. This sparked speculation about their potential joint return, especially around SummerSlam.
Jey uso teases Jimmy’s return
In an interview with Justin Barrasso, Jey Uso hinted at his brother Jimmy’s imminent return to WWE programming. Jey expressed his eagerness to see Jimmy back on TV, highlighting Jimmy’s charisma and comedic talent that shone briefly on SmackDown before his injury.
“My brother will be back soon. I want to see him on TV. Like, if you really pay attention to Jimmy, Jimmy [is] funny as hell. He started shining on SmackDown for a little bit, then he got hurt. I’m excited to see his character back on TV. How he is with Roman Reigns now. Even with me,” Jey said.
No summer return for Jimmy Uso
Despite widespread anticipation, Jimmy Uso did not make his return at SummerSlam. According to Fightful on its Patreon, there were never any plans for Jimmy or Jey to be involved in the event. Brandon Thurston of Fightful noted that recent WWE press conferences granted access to some fans who purchased On Location ticket packages, but this did not translate into an appearance by either Uso brother.
Solo Sikoa’s new bloodline
Solo Sikoa has taken the reins of The Bloodline, introducing new members Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. Sikoa even issued a warning to Roman Reigns before SummerSlam, prompting Reigns’ return for retribution. With Roman now engaged in a battle with the revamped Bloodline, the support of former members like the Usos could be crucial. As Jimmy Uso is now cleared to fight, his return seems likely shortly.
Jacob Fatu’s injury post-Summerslam
In an unexpected turn of events, Jacob Fatu, who intervened in the SummerSlam match between Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa, suffered an injury. During a Splash on Rhodes, Fatu hit his leg on the commentary table. Triple H confirmed that Fatu was injured and advised patience until further details were available.
An Instagram story from the HaroonTwins showed Fatu wearing an orthopedic boot after SummerSlam. While initial reports from Pro Wrestling Nexus suggested that Fatu was “fine,” the orthopedic boot indicates a potential minor injury. Further clarification on Fatu’s condition is expected soon.
The road ahead
With Jacob Fatu’s injury and Jimmy Uso’s impending return, the dynamics within WWE are poised for significant shifts. Fans are left wondering how these developments will impact the storyline and whether the Usos will reunite to support Roman Reigns against Solo Sikoa’s faction. As the WWE universe awaits these changes, the anticipation and excitement continue to build.
