Jey Uso was involved in a big match at Backlash France. At the PLE, he took on The Judgment Day's Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship. The 16-minute encounter ended with Priest pinning Jey to retain his title.

As for The Bloodline, the faction has undergone many big changes lately. The group formed in 2020 when Roman Reigns aligned with his former rival, Paul Heyman.

Fast-forward four years, and a lot has changed. Solo Sikoa is now leading The Bloodline, with The Tribal Chief nowhere to be seen. Jimmy Uso is no longer a part of the faction, and fans are expecting to see him join his brother, Jey, in the near future.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
