It was an ending that few saw coming: SummerSlam's crescendo culminated with Jimmy Uso's stunning betrayal of his brother Jey, throwing the WWE universe into an unexpected whirlwind. This betrayal came at the most critical point, the peak of Jey's battle with Roman Reigns for the revered Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Just last month, Jey Uso etched his name in the annals of wrestling history, becoming the first superstar to cleanly pin Roman Reigns since 2019 during the Money in the Bank event. This achievement warranted a title shot at SummerSlam against Reigns. The stakes? Both the championship belts and the esteemed title of "Tribal Chief". Given the gravity of their ties and the implosion of the Bloodline, they decided on a Tribal Combat/no holds barred match.
Yet, just as victory seemed imminent for Jey, a hooded intruder disrupted his pin. That intruder was none other than his twin, Jimmy Uso. He unmasked himself and landed a brutal superkick on his own flesh and blood, paving the way for Reigns to exploit the betrayal and claim victory.
This has sent shockwaves through the WWE community. Internal sources, such as WrestleVotes, have revealed that there is significant backstage deliberation regarding when the anticipated Uso vs. Uso showdown should take place. Some are suggesting to wait until the grandeur of WrestleMania 40, scheduled for next April, while others think 35 weeks of anticipation might prove too long for fans.
