Roman Reigns and the Usos have a storied history filled with betrayals, championship wins, and everything else in between. There have been times when they are on the same page. Those times were spent in the Bloodline when they were all champions. However, more often than not, infighting led to battles against one another and the Usos leaving Reigns. But what\u2019s happened in the past couple of weeks seems to have softened their stance on him. <\/span><\/p>\n

CM Punk will be defending the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Reigns at WrestleMania: Vegas<\/a>. Over the last couple of weeks, the two have been going back and forth with the Usos yelling at Punk as well. A three-on-one\u00a0attack left Punk helpless on the March 23,\u00a02026,\u00a0episode of Monday Night Raw. Should the\u00a0Usos\u00a0help Reigns the rest of the way, or will old habits change their mind?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reigns Needs All the Help He Can Get in this Fight<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If this feud had happened two years ago, the roles would be reversed. Reigns would be the dominant workhorse and Punk would be the guy that just showed up, thanks to their title reign and injury. But Punk has been champion<\/a> since last November, and Reigns won<\/a> the Men\u2019s Royal Rumble after months away. What\u2019s significant is that Punk isn\u2019t shying away from calling Reigns a part-timer. <\/span><\/p>\n

He knows Reigns goes months without stepping in the ring, which is why he\u2019s antagonizing the Usos. He wants them to fight the battles so he can get an easy win at WrestleMania. But he\u2019s finding out that family isn\u2019t just a word to them. It isn\u2019t a loose term, but in fact a commitment to defending a blood relative that\u2019s getting picked on. The Usos are gladly helping Reigns because he\u2019s their cousin, no matter what\u2019s happened in the past.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Usos\u00a0Know What He Can Do When He\u2019s Angry<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Many fans online have said the same thing about Reigns for years. He\u00a0hasn\u2019t\u00a0apologized to the\u00a0Usos\u00a0for yelling at them and mistreating them while they were in the Bloodline.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0pretty much been\u00a0an unspoken observation for all of Reigns\u2019 opponents and the\u00a0Usos\u2019 friends since then. However, Punk\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0afraid to speak his mind. He\u00a0brought that up\u00a0when the\u00a0Usos\u00a0demanded an apology for insulting Reigns\u2019 father and their uncle.\u00a0A nice person would be happy that they would stick up for them in a time of need.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/smartframe-embed><\/p>\n

However, things will\u00a0probably be\u00a0very predictable next Monday. Instead of being thankful, Reigns will yell at them for interfering in his business. He\u00a0hasn\u2019t\u00a0changed his behavior at all since returning after losing the Undisputed WWE Championship. The sooner the\u00a0Usos\u00a0realize\u00a0that,\u00a0the better off\u00a0they\u2019ll\u00a0be leaving him behind.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Will They Decide to Do?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

When Punk brought up Reigns\u2019 past behavior, memories probably flooded back from years ago. Both men leave the Bloodline, the Bloodline Civil War, and reunite afterwards. They\u2019ve probably realized that he is right. Not once has he apologized for treating them poorly. However, Punk has crossed the line so many times over the past couple of weeks that they would want to deal with it later. <\/span><\/p>\n

Reigns told them to stand down, but they attacked Punk anyway. They know how he is, but they still decided to attack a person who insulted him. However, the same old Reigns could come out next Monday. Instead of saying thanks for everything, there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019ll be yelled at. <\/span><\/p>\n

He won\u2019t be grateful; instead, he\u2019ll think they\u2019re in his way. If that happens, they\u2019ll have to make a very tough decision leading up to WrestleMania: Vegas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
