WWE SummerSlam 2023 exceeded fans’ expectations by presenting a banger. While the fans were filled with high hopes looking at the success rate under Triple H’s reign, the main event left the WWE Universe flabbergasted. Jimmy Uso’s betrayal of his brother came as a massive shock for everyone witnessing the event.
Jimmy Uso had been out of WWE events for a few weeks for a kayfabe injury. While he was presented as a victim of ruptured rib cartilage, his surprise appearance at SummerSlam proved it to be a kayfabe. But, what compelled him to join the Roman Reigns’ camp and leave his twin brother battling alone?
The most probable reason for Jimmy Uso to turn against Jey Uso is the jealousy that he might have had with his twin. Over the past few months, Jey has been able to make a name for himself with his antics. Ever since Jimmy went out of action, Jey grabbed the chance to be the new Tribal Chief and win the title. It was the first time that Jey appeared in the ring without his brother, and it was obvious that Jimmy couldn’t digest the fact.
The move taken by Jimmy has sown the seeds of a probable rivalry between the Samoan twins. It wasn’t long ago when the two expressed their desire to fight in the main event, WrestleMania, in a one-on-one match. What better time would WWE management have to build the same for Wres

Moreover, in the past few weeks, Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman have made sure to put the blame for Jimmy Uso’s injury on Jey’s shoulders. While this seemed to have no impact on Jey, Jimmy seemed to have accepted it. This eventually resulted in him turning against his brother.
Jey Uso chose Jimmy and turned on Roman Reigns
The Bloodline had been going quite strong until the Usos lost their tag team champions title. Unable to take any more insults from Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso turned on Roman Reigns. The move left the entire WWE universe shocked including his twin brother. Jey, who had been in shock, had to pick one amongst Jimmy and Roman Reigns to carry forward in his career and he picked Jimmy.
However, Jimmy failed to repay when the power came to his hands. It has become a tradition for The Bloodline to build a massive storyline for the future. Jimmy Uso’s one step has put the Usos’ bond in jeopardy. The slow but riveting transformation of the brothers’ relationship is surely keeping the fans awake at night.
