WWE Universe left stunned after family ties are shattered on SmackDown!
In one of the most explosive and emotionally charged moments in recent WWE history, Roman Reigns shocked the world last night by unleashing a savage attack on his own cousin, Jey Uso, moments after Jey’s triumphant victory for the WWE World Championship.
The chaos unfolded during the closing segment of Friday Night SmackDown, where Jey Uso, fresh off an emotional and hard-fought victory, stood tall as the newly crowned champion. With tears in his eyes and the WWE Universe behind him, Jey thanked his family—especially Roman—for shaping him into the man he is today.
But those words would soon turn into haunting echoes.
Just as Jey held the title aloft, the familiar beat of “Head of the Table” thundered through the arena. Roman Reigns, dressed in all black and wearing a stone-cold glare, made his way to the ring to a mix of cheers and stunned silence. At first, it seemed like a show of respect—perhaps even a passing of the torch. Roman entered the ring, stared down Jey for a tense moment, and then extended his arms… for a hug.
The crowd erupted. Cousin embraced cousin. Champion embraced former champion. But the reunion would be short-lived.
Without warning, Roman struck—driving a crushing Superman Punch into Jey’s jaw, sending the champion sprawling to the mat. The crowd gasped as Roman’s face twisted with fury and betrayal. “You think this is how the story ends?” he bellowed over a stunned crowd. “I made you. I carried this family. And now you think you can take my throne?”
What followed was a calculated and merciless assault. Roman dragged Jey to the outside and slammed him into the steel steps. He cleared the commentary table and powerbombed his cousin through it, standing tall over the wreckage. WWE officials rushed the scene, but Roman shrugged them off, grabbing the World Title belt and holding it above Jey’s broken body.
“This is mine,” Roman growled, before tossing the title back onto Jey with disdain.
Backstage sources say this shocking turn was weeks in the making, with Roman growing increasingly jealous of Jey’s rise and fan support. Once the undisputed Tribal Chief, Reigns has been absent from the title picture for months—and last night, he made it clear he’s not done yet.
The WWE Universe is left asking: is this the end of The Bloodline as we know it? Or is this simply the next chapter in a family war that refuses to die?
With backlash building and Jey’s status uncertain after the attack, one thing is clear: Roman Reigns has drawn the battle lines, and the road to redemption—or revenge—has only just begun.
Stay tuned, because in this family, loyalty comes with a price.
