As Roman Reigns has stated, time and time again, Jey Uso used to be a part of the greatest tag team of our era- The Usos.
But the current version of Jey Uso, the man who stepped up to Roman Reigns on more than one occasion is a very different character from the man that was once little more than a Tag Team Superstar.
Here is why it should be Jey Uso and none other than eventually takes the WWE Universal Championship from the current Champion- The Tribal Chief and the head of the table, Roman Reigns.
#5 The inevitable face turn from Jey Uso against Roman Reigns is certainly imminent
Even though Jey Uso has been nothing but loyal to his cousin Roman Reigns, The Tribal Chief has been a bully to his cousin. Especially if you consider what happened on this week's edition of WWE SmackDown, where he cracked a steel chair across Jey Uso's back! All of it could be a slow build towards Jey Uso turning babyface in due time when he's had enough of his cousin.
Because there is so much history between the two men, in what has been hailed as the best storyline in modern wrestling, in addition to their familial ties, there is a very strong storyline when it comes to booking a rematch.
When Jey Uso does turn babyface, one hopes that there will be crowds in the arena again, but even if there aren't, it will be a fantastic moment, where Jey Uso has had enough of his cousin's tyranny and genuinely can't take anymore.
Jey Uso has also been used wisely on the WWE SmackDown roster.
He's a credible singles star now, so for him to become the next Universal Champion would be a feel good story.
#4 Roman Reigns needs to run through every babyface in the roster before he comes up against Jey Uso
Nobody should defeat Roman Reigns for a while because he's the coolest thing in sports entertainment at this point in time.
Kevin Owens should come up short against Roman Reigns at TLC. So, should the others who step up after that, be it Daniel Bryan, or Rey Mysterio, or Aleister Black, or even Big E. Roman Reigns should run through them all, and then run up against a roadblock against someone from his own family- Jey Uso.
And why Jey Uso should win his eventual match against Roman Reigns is because, for him to come up short against Roman Reigns, during their third encounter would just make no sense at all. The third time should be the charm for Jey Uso as he finally shakes off the monkey on his back.
Whether WWE goes down that route remains to be seen, but that is certainly the road that the company should take in the coming months.
#3 For Roman Reigns to drop the title against The Rock will not make any real sense
Many believe that the culmination of the whole 'Tribal Chief' storyline will happen with the arrival of The Rock, who will take on Roman Reigns in a dream match at WrestleMania 37.
In fact, Roman Reigns even expressed his desire to wrestle The Rock on First Take:
It would be amazing. I think for any Superstar of my generation to have someone on his level, someone that's done so much not only in sports entertainment but, you know, the movie industry and entertainment in general, I mean the man what like a billion followers online and stuff so, to be able to put that type of spotlight on our current generation and what we do with our product in WWE, that would be amazing. And just to share the ring with him.
But, for Roman Reigns to lose his Championship to a part-time star makes no sense at all. If he's carrying the title all the way to WrestleMania, he needs to lose to a full-time star, after running through The Rock as well. Who better than Jey Uso?
#2 Roman Reigns' storyline is so ingrained in Samoan Culture, that this story needs to come full circle again
While it would be a great moment to see someone like Aleister Black kick Roman Reigns all the way to Kingdom Come and win the WWE Universal Championship from him, or to see Big E secure the big ending to his current run, it just makes sense for a Samoan to dethrone Roman Reigns.
Ever since Roman Reigns turned heel and aligned with Paul Heyman, he's only been driven by one motivator- family pride and honor. He's different from a heel like Randy Orton, who seeks the perfect opportunity to attack, or even someone like The Miz, who doesn't mind taking shortcuts. Roman Reigns, ladies, and gentlemen, in his twisted mind, believes that he's the good guy.
And so, it needs to come full-circle with Jey Uso, who claims the place at the head of the table. The only other candidate in this role is The Rock, and we've established why he shouldn't be the man to defeat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
#1 WWE desperately needs a top babyface like Jey Uso
Nobody has stepped up in the year 2020 in the same manner that Jey Uso has!
In an exclusive interview with SK Wrestling, Big E was asked about Jey Uso and he said the following to us:
He’s knocked it out of the park. He really has. To think that, just, what a few months ago he was just hosting a karaoke segment with the women. He was kind of just a guy who was flown to TV because his brother was hurt, so used to booking him in these tags. But to see him in this singles run, to see the way he’s stepped up, to see the way…just the amount of emotions he’s brought to this. I just knew he had this ability.
Because he's stepped up in the manner that he has, it makes sense for him to be pushed all the way to the very top of the SmackDown roster.
Jey Uso is a great promo and can work with the best of them. He'd make a very capable Universal Champion.
