WWE SmackDown is undoubtedly the playground of Roman Reigns. The longtime Universal Champion appears predominantly on the blue brand to occasionally step into the ring and facilitate segments. Now that the story of The Bloodline is in an interesting phase, his part is vital.
The Tribal Chief shocked the WWE Universe by overcoming Cody Rhodes’ problem at WrestleMania. However, his cousins were not so lucky. For the first time in over a year, Jey and Jimmy Uso will not be entering WWE SmackDown by jingling Tag Titles rhythmically to The Ones.
Jey Uso is scheduled to fight one half of the Undisputed Tag Team Champions, Sami Zayn. Will Roman Reigns play backup for The Right Hand Man on WWE SmackDown? Unfortunately, the poster boy isn’t announced for the show yet. However, he will play a big role going forward, once The Bloodline storyline comes into its own this Friday.
According to the latest reports, a segment is scheduled for the blue brand, which will focus on the tense relationship between Paul Heyman and Jey Uso. It is likely that the former tag team champion can criticize The Wiseman after losing to Zayn . The report also mentioned that the segment could change without notice.
Roman Reigns was enraged by The Usos’ title loss, so much so that he ordered them off RAW. Reigns not appearing on WWE SmackDown probably means he wants Jimmy and Jey to be self-sufficient. However, Jey’s growing frustrations may cause her to snap. The nightmarish beating he received at the hands of Sami Zayn at WrestleMania must be playing on his mind.
WWE SmackDown: Who could be Roman Reigns’ next problem?
The Head Of The Table was about to participate in a tag team match with Solo Sikoa on RAW after WrestleMania, but Brock Lesnar’s attack on Cody Rhodes brought it to a premature end. As long as The Beast has launched into a rivalry with Rhodes, Roman Reigns remains unfazed on the road to Backlash.
Drew McIntyre could look to end his story with The Tribal Chief. He failed to capture the Intercontinental title at ‘Mania and no longer seems relevant in the Imperium-Brawling Brutes faction feud. Bray Wyatt could also return and spark a very interesting feud with his old rival from The Shield.
Lastly, WWE could develop Jey Uso as the next challenger for Reigns’ gold. However, it might take him some time to build a story where he betrays his cousin and spawns a show for the undisputed title. Main Event Jey sided with Roman to form The Bloodline, but his departure could also shake his very foundation.
