The Bloodline (2020-2023)

In 2020, Jey Uso began feuding with Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. Jey faced Roman Reigns at Clash of Champions and Hell in a Cell before acknowledging the Tribal Chief. Jey began working as Reign's right-hand man and assisted him during his matches. At WrestleMania 37, Jey won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. At Money in the Bank, The Usos won their seventh WWE and fifth SmackDown Tag Team Championship. At WrestleMania 38, The Usos defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs.

They soon began feuding against the RAW Tag Team Champions RK-Bro leading to a title unification match which The Usos won.

At Survivor Series 2022, the Bloodline defeated the team of Sheamus, Butch, Ridge Holand, KO, and Drew McIntyre in a war games match when Zayn delivered a low blow to Kevin Owens and Jimmy hit a splash for the 3-count.

In the Raw is XXX episode, The Bloodline held the trial of Sami Zayn to decide whether he is with the Bloodline or against them. Paul Heyman claimed that Zayn was in league with Kevin Owens and would betray the Bloodline. Reigns is convinced by this and asks Solo Sikoa to take him out only for Jey to stop him and play a videotape that showed Zayn's loyalty. Reigns declared Zayn "Not Guilty...... for now."

The Usos then had a match against Judgement Day for the Raw Tag team championship. Jimmy apparently got hurt during the match following which he was replaced by Sami Zayn. Jey and Zayn hit the 1D for the win.

At Royal Rumble 2023, Sami Zayn finally snapped and betrayed Roman Reigns, following which Jey Uso walked out of the ring while the other members of The Bloodline beat Zayn in the ring. Uso would go on to miss a few programming before showing up on the March 6th episode of RAW where he sided with his brother Jimmy and super-kicked Zayn.

On the March 20th episode, Zayn reunited with Owens and challenged The Usos for the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championship. The two teams battled it out in the main event of Night One of WrestleMania Hollywood. The hard-hitting contest saw the challengers bag the win bringing an end to the 622-day title reign of The Usos. The animosity between the two parties continued following the event and The Usos are all set to team up with Solo Sikoa to take on Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and Matt Riddle at WWE Backlash 2023 in a Six Man Tag Team Match. The brothers emerged victorious in the match.

Following the event, Solo Sikoa and Reigns challenged for the tag team titles at Night of Champions 2023. The Usos interfered and tried to attack Sami Zayn but accidentally super kicked Solo Sikoa infuriating Roman Reigns. Jimmy Uso lost his temper at this and attacked Reigns leaving The Bloodline. He was officially kicked out of the group by Sikoa and Reigns the following night. A few weeks later, Jey Uso made his decision and sided by his brother Jimmy. He made his decision known to the world by super-kicking Reigns. The two teams then collided in a highly entertaining and hard-hitting match at Money in the Bank 2023. In the match that lasted over half an hour, it was The Usos who scored the victory, and that too by pinning Roman Reigns.

Jey Uso pinned The Tribal Chief, marking his first pinfall loss since 2019. Following the event, Jey Uso challenged his cousin for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and the recognition of Tribal Chief. Both disputes are due to be settled at SummerSlam 2023. Roman Reigns and Jey Uso collided in the first-ever Tribal Combat match to settle their differences.

At the event, Uso was about to pin Reigns when someone broke the pin. The maskman removed his mask and revealed himself to be Jimmy Uso. This helped Reigns pick up the victory. Following this betrayal from his brother, Jey decided to quit SmackDown. At Payback 2023, Cody Rhodes in Grayson Waller Effect announced that Jey Uso was now joining Monday Night RAW as a solo wrestler.

He was then approached by The Judgment Day to join their stable, but he was rejected. The stable was frustrated and targeted him, but he was assisted by Cody Rhodes. Rhodes and Uso then challenged Balor and Priest for their Undisputed Tag Team Championship at Fastlane 2023, and won. This marked the first time either of The Usos brothers had won the Tag Team Championship with a different partner. The victory was cut short when the two lost the belt back to The Judgment Day just nine days later.
