Roman Reigns and The Usos often talk about the trio capturing all the gold on SmackDown. They were experiencing some internal conflict until recently when Jey Uso returned, and Jimmy Uso decided to get on the same page as his family.

It would be fair to say that The Usos are close to getting their hands on the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, with a significant opportunity awaiting them tonight itself.

If they beat Rey Mysterio and his son, Dominik Mysterio, for the tag team titles tonight, it will be the beginning of a different era with Roman Reigns in charge. Together, they can run through the SmackDown roster and deliver countless memorable feuds.

The title change will also ruffle up some feathers in the tag team division. Even if it doesn’t happen at Money in the Bank, it could very well become a reality at SummerSlam next month.


#3 Set up a big betrayal involving Roman Reigns and The Usos

There is no denying that a decorated heel trio brutalizing an entire locker room looks promising. But as has always been the case in WWE history, the booking simultaneously sets up a big betrayal. The previous feud between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso was one of the best storylines we have seen in recent history. The situation was also quite tense when Jimmy Uso first showed up.

Despite several conflicts, all three superstars are on the same page now, but how long will that last? Reigns tends to prioritize his well-being over his cousins, and he is known for throwing Jey into the fighting pit. He also takes credit for things that he never does and can be quite a controlling figure. It is difficult to believe that both Jey and Jimmy will keep up with disrespectful behavior for long.

WWE could also spin this storyline differently. They could book The Usos as strongly as Roman Reigns, which the latter wouldn’t appreciate. Either way, an eventual betrayal should be in the plan. It has the potential to craft a long-term booking that is bound to keep the entire WWE Universe hooked in anticipation.
