Jimmy Uso heel turn: Jey Uso subtly hinted at the controversial finish of title match against Roman Reigns a month before SummerSlam, WWE fans claim

Jey challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and his Tribal Chiefdom. The latter had plenty of help from Solo Sikoa, but Jey came close to picking up a win on multiple occasions.

The match's closing moments, however, saw a shocking twist as Jimmy Uso returned and betrayed his brother. He prevented Jey from defeating Reigns and indirectly helped the latter retain his gold.

While Jimmy's betrayal could have several potential reasons, many are convinced it will eventually lead to a massive WrestleMania match between the two brothers.

A clip from their interview with Ariel Helwani recently resurfaced on social media, where Jey Uso said facing Jimmy at WrestleMania was his dream match. Fans believe WWE held onto the idea and laid the groundwork at SummerSlam with Jimmy's betrayal, and thus, think this is where The Usos hinted at the title bout's finish.

Many in the WWE Universe are convinced that the two will lock horns at the Grandest Stage of Them All but argue that the turn was rushed. Here's what fans had to say about Jey Uso potentially facing his brother, Jimmy, at WrestleMania next year:

Many in the WWE Universe also believe that Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso may lock horns in a match at Payback 2023. Most fans are pleased for The Usos and feel their hopes for a brother vs. brother rivalry explain the controversial finish to the main event of SummerSlam.

Fans will have to wait until SmackDown after SummerSlam to hear from Jimmy Uso and potentially Roman Reigns. While The Tribal Chief and Jey may take some time off, Jimmy could address the WWE Universe and explain his betrayal the next time he appears on television.
