#2. Jimmy Uso doesn't get written out of SmackDown

Edge got the better of Jimmy Uso on SmackDown last week

Jimmy Uso only returned to SmackDown recently, but his current run could abruptly halt before it has even taken off. So far, his story with Roman Reigns on SmackDown has been different.

While Jey Uso eventually joined Reigns, Jimmy Uso hasn't shown the same enthusiasm on SmackDown. Still, last week, we saw Jimmy do Reigns' bidding on SmackDown while the Universal Champion was absent.

This led to a little throwback at WrestleMania where The Tribal Chief was nearly submitted. Jimmy was on the receiving end of a rod in his mouth and Edge stood tall on the Blue brand.

But after his real-life incident this past week, it seems unlikely that he will appear on SmackDown. Given that it has happened on repeated occasions, it might be a serious concern to WWE officials.

Fans expect this to be the end of the potential reunion of "The Bloodline" in its new form. Jimmy Uso seemed to in a position where he would eventually align with Roman Reigns on SmackDown, but that could be canceled as soon as this week.

It would be surprising if Jimmy wasn't written out in some way. But given that he was on the receiving end of a beatdown last week, it could be an excuse to simply keep him off the Blue brand.
