WWE's recent announcement that Roman Reigns and Jey Uso will compete in a rematch at the upcoming pay-per-view, Hell in a Cell, has been met with mixed reactions. While some fans were excited to see a follow up so Uso could get his revenge, others wonder what is the point?

Doesn't WWE have a better opponent for Roman Reigns or is the company going down this route with the family storyline intentional? If it is intentional, does that mean that The Rock versus Roman Reigns is a go at WrestleMania and how would the company even build to something that big?

With that being said, Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso at Hell in a Cell is almost upon us. Here are five reasons why the rematch is best for business.


#5. Roman Reigns and Jey Uso need to finish what they started

It seems like Roman Reigns and Jey Uso aren't finished with each other yet.
It seems like Roman Reigns and Jey Uso aren't finished with each other yet.

Roman Reigns forced Jimmy Uso to throw in the towel on behalf of his brother at Night of Champions, but Jey made it clear that he wanted to continue the fight. Unfortunately for Jey, Roman Reigns just beat him down for several minutes and he showed absolutely no sign of mounting a comeback.

Uso made it clear to Roman Reigns that he wants another shot to prove his worth, so it just wouldn't make sense to end things prematurely. In fact, it would hurt the carefully constructed feud that WWE is trying to build right now and fans would miss out on something special.

In the end, WWE wants to tell a story between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso, which has already proven interesting to watch. The way WWE will choose to add another chapter to this rivalry is unclear, but it could be nothing short of amazing given what they have pulled off so far.

#4. There aren't many other opponents for Roman Reigns

While making Roman Reigns a heel champion was a brilliant move on WWE's part that opened up a new side to his character, it also comes at a time when there aren't many great opponents for The Tribal Chief. In fact, Friday Night SmackDown seems absolutely barren when it comes to babyface opponents at the moment.

Of course, the upcoming draft will probably fix this problem and establish a plethora of opponents for Roman Reigns in the future. Still, Jey Uso is an interesting place holder in the meantime. Furthermore, it allows Reign's heel character to generate more heat before moving on to bigger opponents.

In the end, Roman Reigns needs a stop-gap opponent and there really isn't anyone at that level right now. Then again, WWE could just put him up against The Fiend again, but that would likely cause the fan-favorite character to take another loss. That's probably why WWE chose to go with Jey Uso again instead.

#3. Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso is a good way to keep the family storyline in focus

Roman Reigns versus Jey Uso seems like a way to continue the family storyline.

One of the best things about this whole storyline between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso is that it's a family affair. This means that this is not just a simple match or even a contest between two unfamiliar competitors. It's a personal affair that will have implications for the future.

For example, what if WWE is using this prolonged feud between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso to reinforce the idea that he is the top dog in his family? Furthermore, what if that eventually leads to The Rock vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 37 next year? Wouldn't that make it all worth it?

In all honesty, WWE needs to pad their programin between now and a probable feud with The Rock down the line, which is why Reigns versus Uso is just the right appetizer. It might even be one of the most well-executed storylines of the year that could lead to one of the most shocking returns in WWE history.

#2. This program showcases Roman Reigns' brutality

If nothing else, Roman Reigns versus Jey Uso at Night of Champions proved that The Tribal Chief is as brutal as they come. Maybe it was just due to how personal the whole affair felt, but Reigns did nothing short of brutalizing his younger cousin in the ring and got more sadistic as he continued his onslaught.

In all honesty, Reigns vs. Uso went from a back and forth contest to basically a drawn-out beating. Reigns looked absolutely evil as yelled at Uso to acknowledge him and smacked him around like a ragdoll when he wouldn't obey him. It even got to the point where Jimmy Uso had to run out and throw in the towel for his twin sibling.

This is an interesting side to Roman Reign's character and it will be something that fans want to see more of. This feud is also perfect for the Hell in a Cell stipulation, which will allow Reigns to showcase more of his brutality and continue to paint Uso in a sympathetic light.

#1. It will continue the longtime rivalry between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso

One of the best things about Roman Reigns' heel turn is the fact that WWE started it off with a such an intimate rivalry. It also feels as if WWE is using Roman Reigns' competitive relationship with his family to make him the biggest heel on SmackDown.

Not only is that evident by the way Roman Reigns described how he gave Jey Uso an opportunity to have a nice pay day and do something nice for his family, but also by Reign's own insistence that he will be acknowledged. This is a great storytelling technique.

For example, while older fans will see Roman Reigns as justified in his actions as the eldest member of the family. Meanwhile, younger WWE fans will sympathize with Uso as a face. In the end, it's the perfect way to continue Reign's heel turn and set him up for massive success in the coming months.
