5 reasons why Jey Uso turned heel and aligned with Roman Reigns on SmackDown

#2 To enhance Roman Reigns' character

We've said it many times before since early September - this version of Roman Reigns is the one that we should have seen five years ago when fans had turned on him. For over three years, fans protested the Roman Reigns push and cited it as WWE shoving him down fans' throats and trying to make him the next John Cena.

There was a lot of truth to that and none of it was Roman Reigns' fault. He was forced into playing a character that wasn't authentic and it was never going to work that way. Now, we have a more "real" version of Roman Reigns and his cold-bloodedness and brutality reflects perfectly on his new character.

Jey Uso aligning with Roman Reigns is a win-win situation that benefits both characters.
