The ending of the October 11 episode of SmackDown was filled with fireworks as always. Following a valiant effort, Jimmy Uso was defeated by Solo Sikoa after months away from the ring. The rest of The Bloodline crowded the ring and started attacking Uso.
By doing so, they lured Roman Reigns from the back, but Sikoa and his crew disposed of both of them easily. After they exited the ring, Uso told Reigns that they needed help and that they couldn’t fight The Bloodline alone. It remains to be seen whether Reigns will listen to his cousin.
Roman Reigns Isn’t Who He Used to Be
At the start of the night, Reigns and Uso cut a promo together. Reigns did his usual hyping of himself, saying that he is still the main attraction and he’s still the Tribal Chief. However, Uso correctly stated that he has no championship, no Ula Fala, and no other family.
He said he’s the only one to still acknowledge him. Reigns still thinks he’s a one-man wrecking machine but the reality is that Sikoa has everything that he had. Until he listens to Uso and gets some help, Reigns will be weaker than he was and won’t be able to fight off Sikoa and the rest of the Bloodline.
Will Jimmy Uso Be Able to Persuade the Others?
If this is going to be the Men’s WarGames match this year, we’re looking at 4-on-4. The most logical combination for the other two men is Jey Uso and Sami Zayn. However, it might take a bit of convincing by Jimmy to get them on board.
We already know Reigns still isn’t a fan of Jey, and there’s probably still some resentment towards Zayn as well from his betrayal. Likewise, both Jey and Zayn have stayed far away from Reigns and likely have the same feelings towards him. It’s a tricky situation between Jimmy and Reigns, and something that has to be resolved quickly if Reigns wants to get back to the top of the mountain.
Can Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso Get on the Same Page?
Sikoa’s version of The Bloodline is a four-headed monster that has been wrecking SmackDown for months. No one has been able to fully take them down, with the numbers advantage often playing a role. It will take a huge effort for them to get defeated.
With the potential other side figured out, the only way they can win is if they put their past differences behind them. Given their history, it’s easier said than done. But if Reigns accepts Jimmy’s offer for help, their path to victory will start to become clearer.
