Friday Night SmackDown witnessed one of the most jaw-dropping betrayals in WWE history as Jimmy Uso made a thunderous return, joining forces with Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa to decimate Roman Reigns in the middle of the ring.
The show had been teasing tension within The Bloodline for weeks, but no one could have predicted what unfolded in the final moments of SmackDown. Roman Reigns, flanked by Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa, stood tall in the ring after retaining his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship earlier in the night. As Reigns began his customary acknowledgment of the WWE Universe, the arena lights dimmed—and that’s when chaos erupted.
Jimmy Uso’s music hit, and the crowd exploded with a mix of shock and excitement. It was the first time Jimmy had been seen since he was “injured” in a kayfabe attack involving Reigns and Solo months ago. Dressed in street gear, Jimmy didn’t waste any time storming to the ring, sliding under the ropes, and immediately launching a surprise superkick into Reigns’ jaw.
Paul Heyman’s face told the story—total disbelief. Solo Sikoa initially stepped in to defend The Tribal Chief, but the tension simmering within him finally boiled over. With the crowd on their feet, Solo turned and delivered a Samoan Spike to Reigns, leaving him gasping on the mat.
The WWE Universe erupted again as Jey Uso’s theme blasted through the arena. The “Main Event” Uso ran down to the ring and, without hesitation, joined his brothers in a brutal three-on-one assault against Roman. Kendo sticks, steel chairs, and a thunderous triple powerbomb through the announce table left Reigns motionless.
The trio stood together over Roman’s fallen body, throwing up the old Bloodline symbol—but this time, it was different. There was no allegiance to Reigns. This was a new era.
The Usos and Solo Sikoa had declared war on The Tribal Chief.
Backstage, chaos reigned. Officials and superstars scrambled to tend to Reigns, while Heyman was seen yelling into his phone, presumably trying to get help or reach out to other Bloodline members—if any remained loyal. The camera caught one final shot of Jimmy, Jey, and Solo walking up the ramp, unified, intense, and unapologetic.
WWE has yet to issue a statement on the incident, and Roman Reigns’ medical condition remains undisclosed. Rumors are swirling about a possible match at SummerSlam, where Roman could go one-on-three against his former allies in what might be his biggest challenge yet.
Whether you’re Team Tribal Chief or riding with the reborn Uso Brotherhood, one thing is certain—the landscape of SmackDown has changed forever.
