On the main event of WWE Money in the Bank, Jey Uso pinned Roman Reigns, concluding the so-called Bloodline Civil War at the O2 Arena in London. The storyline reached a peak with this climactic event.
A frustrated Roman Reigns appeared in a segment known as “Trial of the Tribal Chief” at WWE MITB after Jey Uso pinned him. He appeared along with special counsel Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa.
The Usos arrived next. Roman, in an emotional state, extended the head stature offer to Jey Uso. But as Jey approached to receive the title, Reigns tricked him with a low blow, triggering a massive brawl. The fight concluded when Solo Sikoa put Jimmy Uso on a table.

Then, Jey attacked Sikoa before targeting Reigns. Jey repeatedly hit Sikoa with a chair while “The Tribal Chief” hastily escaped. Unceremoniously, Reigns dropped his title during his flight. Jey picked it up, challenging Reigns to a match.
He didn’t specify when or where the match would take place. He only stated that the face-off would be a “trial by combat,” a follow-up to the first stage of Reigns’ trial.
Roman Reigns is set to face Jey Uso at SummerSlam
For the first time in over three years, Jey Uso pinned Roman Reigns at Saturday’s Money in the Bank live event. As a result, reports indicate that a significant spotlight is in the offing for Jey Uso.
One of the main reasons Reigns is meeting Jey Uso at SummerSlam is to bring their storyline full circle. The saga of The Bloodline began with a feud between The Tribal Chief and Jey, and it seems apt to have them face off again in light of their recent betrayal.
Indeed, should the Samoan family members go head-to-head, it would allow Jey to reclaim his status as a main-event player. This revives the “Main Event Jey Uso” persona that the fans saw during their past feud.
Jey has the chance to shine as a singles star, possibly delivering another standout performance against Reigns. Also, according to the storyline continuity, there couldn’t be a more suitable opponent for Roman Reigns currently. Reigns and Solo Sikoa’s attack has possibly sidelined Jimmy Uso.
The next premium live event Is SummerSlam 2023. The event’s main draw could be Reigns versus Jey, making it a fittingly major event of the Summer.
Fans are eagerly anticipating to see if Jey Uso can match his performance from Money in the Bank 2023 and potentially defeat the Tribal Chief for the Undisputed Championship.
