Jimmy Uso's first match in six months ends in controversy

Jimmy Uso just competed in his first match in six months. However, the match didn't go as planned.

Following the aftermath of WrestleMania 40, Jimmy was brutally assaulted by Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga. This attack took him out of action for several months. During this time, Solo took over The Bloodline and made several changes to the group by adding new members.

Solo Sikoa also started feuding with Roman Reigns after the OTC's return from hiatus. However, Reigns was alone until he formed an unlikely team with Cody Rhodes at Bad Blood against Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa. During the match, Jimmy made his highly anticipated return and took out Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. This helped Reigns pick up the win and reunite with his brother.

Tonight on SmackDown, Jimmy was seeking revenge against his younger brother when he competed in his first match since WrestleMania 40. The match was going in his favor when Tama Tonga distracted the referee allowing Tonga Loa to trip Jimmy on the top rope. This allowed Solo Sikoa to pick up the win.

Jimmy Uso also teased reuniting with his brother Jey, who is over on RAW. It remains to be seen how that pans out.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
