Roman Reigns and Jey Uso had been on opposing sides until last week's edition of WWE SmackDown, engaging in a battle over the Universal Championship and the right to be the head of the table of the most dominant dynasty in WWE history. And then, to the surprise of the entire WWE SmackDown audience, somehow Jey Uso saw the light and realized that he and Roman Reigns should be aligned.
Jey Uso may be the first of several Superstars to become an ally of Roman Reigns, and in time, wage wars with The Hurt Business or RETRIBUTION or even The Undisputed ERA when they arrive at WWE SmackDown. The alliances chronicled in this article will not happen overnight, if they happen at all, and because things change over time, some of the picks may not necessarily belong to the WWE SmackDown brand.
As we have seen through the course of WWE's history, brands hardly matter when it comes to storylines, especially when Roman Reigns is concerned, and so Superstars may shift to and fro to serve the tale that's being told.
#5 Roman Reigns' other cousin and popular WWE SmackDown star Jimmy Uso
It makes no sense for WWE SmackDown star Jimmy Uso to remain a babyface on his own, while Jey Uso is allied with Roman Reigns, his tribal chief. The Usos are the best tag team in WWE SmackDown history, with all due respect to the New Day, and for them to be aligned with Roman Reigns, would just be a new chapter in their enduring legacy.
It's probably only a matter of time before Jimmy Uso returns to full health, and joins his brother in Roman Reigns' stable on WWE SmackDown. No other scenario makes sense.
#4 Someone who has been greatly overlooked in the WWE SmackDown roster - Tamina Snuka
If you follow WWE SmackDown star Tamina Snuka on social media, you know that she is very invested in the Universal Championship storyline with Roman Reigns and Jey Uso, and she could be a very interesting addition to Roman Reigns' heel stable.
Tamina Snuka is doing nothing at all in the WWE SmackDown roster at this point and we know that she is of Samoan origin, so she fits right into the mix. Moreover, she cuts an imposing figure as a heel and her stint as a babyface on WWE SmackDown did not go down so well.
As has been mentioned before, this faction could, in time, feud with the likes of RETRIBUTION which has a female member, and Tamina Snuka could be the difference-maker, in that situation.
It could lead to a revival in the fortunes of the WWE SmackDown star, who could, much like Jey Uso, show us that she is capable of doing so much more than she is allowed.
#3 From the RAW commentary desk to the most dominant faction on WWE SmackDown - Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe is fantastic behind the commentary desk in the RAW brand but it is impossible to dispute the fact that his abilities in the ring are missed by one and all, and that a move to WWE SmackDown as a member of Roman Reigns' faction will be a big promotion.
Imagine Roman Reigns being flanked by The Usos and Samoa Joe on WWE SmackDown, in arguably the most dominant WWE faction since The Shield.
And because every faction splinters after a period of time, be it The Shield or the nWo, Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe is a very possible scenario, this time with the latter as the babyface.
Most importantly, Samoa Joe is far too talented a WWE Superstar to be wasting his time calling matches, when he should be under the bright lights, making WWE history.
And yes, the Samoan connection does help when it comes to fantasy booking him in the most dominant faction WWE SmackDown has seen.
#2 Could Naomi join Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, and her husband Jimmy Uso on WWE SmackDown?
When Naomi was drafted to WWE RAW, MVP let it be known that he is very interested in recruiting her as a member of his faction - The Hurt Business, as the first female member. And yet, the actual plans for her may be quite different, especially if her husband Jimmy Uso is recruited into Roman Reigns' stable on WWE SmackDown in due course.
Naomi is only related to the Anoa'i family by marriage, but it makes all the sense in the world to have her in this WWE SmackDown stable.
Be it SAniTy or RETRIBUTION or any other number of factions that like to play around with capitalization, having a female member in the collective is always a good thing because it lends depth and color to the actual faction.
Naomi's not doing anything on RAW at this time and for her to become a part of this dominant WWE SmackDown collective may be the most important thing she's done since she was in Team BAD.
#1 Once Nia Jax loses her WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, could she team up with Roman Reigns?
Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler rule the roost on WWE RAW as the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, but it could be only a matter of time before she is moved over to the most exciting feud in the whole company, to become an ally of Roman Reigns.
And this may especially make sense if the plans at WrestleMania involve Roman Reigns taking on Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, in arguably the biggest match that the company has seen in the last few years.
Nia Jax and The Rock are related, and this could play into The Rock's feud with Roman Reigns, as she is conflicted about whether to support her team member or her relative. In fact, we could see a betrayal where Nia Jax leaves Roman Reigns' side to support The Rock, as they take on Roman Reigns and a female member of his alliance.
Do you think this would be a good use of Nia Jax?
