Business has certainly picked up with The Bloodline in recent weeks as Jimmy Uso superkicked Roman Reigns during the main event at Night of Champions. Last week Jimmy pleaded with Roman Reigns to show respect to all of the members of The Bloodline so that they could run things together, but Roman said “no” and Solo Sikoa hit Jimmy with the Samoan Spike.
There were a lot of questions heading into SmackDown this week as Paul Heyman declared that Jey Uso would have to make his choice. During a backstage segment Paul Heyman told Jey Uso that if he stays with The Bloodline he will be groomed to be the next Tribal Chief. Jey told Paul Heyman that if he decides to stay with The Bloodline then Heyman will be removed from the group.
Jey Uso competed in the main event and he challenged Austin Theory for the United States Championship and the match was referred to as a gift from Roman Reigns. During the match Pretty Deadly interfered, so Jimmy Uso came down to make the save and he took out Pretty Deadly then Solo Sikoa came down to attack Jimmy.
Jimmy went to superkick Solo, but Solo moved out of the way and he hit Jey instead. Austin Theory capitalized and pinned Jey Uso to retain the title. Solo Sikoa then stood with Paul Heyman at ringside as Jimmy tried to comfort Jey, but Jey shoved him. Jey Uso stepped out of the ring and Paul Heyman apologized to him. Jey then left by himself as the show came to an end.
Jey @WWEUsos has a decision to make.
Where will he stand?
With @WWERomanReigns? Or with his own brother, Jimmy? #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/Vr9Xatia0h
