Roman Reign’s win at SuperSlam this week was somehow predictable, yet the match did not fail to be the most exciting entry. By now, you must have watched numerous clips of Jimmy Uso betraying his twin and wondered what on Earth led him to do so.
Midway into the match, Jey seemed to have the upper hand against Roman. The brutal game was almost reaching a breaking point when Jimmy resurfaced and pulled Jey out of the ring. At this vital juncture of the match, Jimmy attacked his twin mercilessly and then rolled him back in the ring for Roman to make mincemeat out of a stunned Jey.
Jey was still sitting in the ring as the show ended, gobsmacked about what had just happened. The audience is just as surprised with what just went down and will undoubtedly have some questions of their own.
Why Did Jimmy Uso Betray Jey Uso at SuperSlam?
While there have been no announcements from both the involved parties regarding Jimmy’s decision to beat up Jey in the match against Roman, fans have their own theories. The most prominent reasons are Jimmy’s craving for the title match at Summerslam or pure jealousy as Jey faced Roman in the title match for the third time. Jimmy could also have been in leagues with Roman all this while.
Jimmy has not faced his cousin even once since 2020, and Jey has been taking up all the opportunities and falling short. Jey Uso has been a side character for the last couple of years. Jimmy Uso might have had enough of Jey’s dominance and decided to take matters into his own hands.
Roman Reigns became a megastar after winning The Bloodline. He defeated multiple strong opponents, fought his way to the top, and maintained his legacy. As Jey challenges Roman for the Tribal Chief position, fans, as well as family, question if he is really capable of it.
Jimmy might have thought on a similar line that his brother was not cut out for the title, primarily due to the responsibilities it came with. Jimmy’s actions at SummerSlam might have been a direct result of him underestimating his brother and placing trust in Roman Reign to carry the title. It removed Jimmy’s chances of disturbing the fragile balance.
This betrayal can also be a prelude to a future singles feud between The Usos. The brothers talked about a potential singles match that might occur sooner rather than later. WWE can move forward in its direction now.
As Roman Reigns has been in the picture too long, the two brothers can take the spotlight for a while.
WWE might be steering the plot toward a conclusion at WrestleMania 40, which will be held next year. The betrayal has definitely captivated fans and will keep the audience until they can have a suitable ending. This long form of storytelling is found to be entertaining by many.
So, let’s wait to see how WWE chooses to capitalize on this feud. Meanwhile, tell us about your theories on why Jimmy went against his twin.
