Jey Uso reunited with his twin brother Jimmy Uso as a tag team on this week’s episode of RAW, but his recent actions suggest a possible heel turn confirmation is imminent. After their reunion, Jey walked out on Jimmy in a backstage segment, signaling tension within the team and the potential for dramatic changes ahead in his career.
Raw Opens with Tensions Between The Usos and Their Rivals
The Usos began the show with a promo that showcased their unity, but their moment was interrupted by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, sparking a heated confrontation between the rival groups. The babyface duo challenged The Vision to a match at the upcoming Wrestlepalooza event, but the situation quickly escalated when LA Knight attacked Breakker and Reed from behind, igniting a chaotic brawl.
Later backstage, Big Jim approached Jey with a proposal to assist Knight in his main event clash against The Auszilla. Jey declined and, after an intense conversation where he was accused of sounding like Roman Reigns, ultimately left Jimmy behind, reinforcing the idea that Jey is drifting away from the tag team bond he once shared with his twin.
Recent Events Point to Jey’s Growing Frustration and Possible Solo Run
Two weeks ago, the Office of Tribal Counsel (OTC) encouraged Jey to dominate all challengers and pursue the World Heavyweight Championship. Demonstrating he took this advice seriously, Jey defeated CM Punk later that night with a powerful performance. On this week’s RAW, Jey stunned everyone by delivering a massive spear to LA Knight, surprising even his twin brother Jimmy.
This angle raises the possibility that Knight may interfere in the tag match at Wrestlepalooza, unintentionally aiding The Vision and costing The Usos their win. Should that occur, it could push a frustrated Jey to finalize his heel turn by abandoning Jimmy completely and focusing on singles competition and the World Heavyweight Championship.
A confirmed heel turn would mark Jey’s return to singles wrestling, where he previously found considerable success. Breaking away from his twin partner could open the door for him to reclaim the world title independently, without relying on the eight-time WWE Tag Team Champion’s support.
However, this storyline remains speculative as of now, and fans are awaiting further developments, especially with Wrestlepalooza approaching and Triple H’s creative direction still unfolding.
Industry Veteran Shares Concerns Over Jey Uso’s Character Direction
Following the surprising developments on RAW, WWE legend and journalist Bill Apter expressed skepticism about Jey Uso’s current trajectory. Speaking on Sportskeeda’s UnSKripted podcast, Apter described Jey’s character as confusing and labeled him “medium hot,” implying that his appeal was moderate but not fully realized.
Apter warned that the teased heel turn could be a “grave mistake,” potentially damaging Jey’s popularity and merchandise sales. He stressed that clarity in character direction is crucial for Jey’s long-term success in WWE.
Despite these concerns, the upcoming rivalry with The Vision and LA Knight offers Jey an opportunity to redefine his role and potentially solidify his position in WWE’s singles division.
