Roman Reigns, WWE’s Original Tribal Chief, has taken a notable new role as a mentor to Jey Uso, signaling a shift in their dynamic on Monday Night RAW. This change comes amid Reigns’ upcoming Australian Street Fight at Crown Jewel 2025 against Bronson Reed, and it highlights a deeper relationship beyond their usual alliance, with Reigns offering guidance intended to elevate Jey Uso’s status in the wrestling world. The evolving mentorship highlights a strategic adjustment within the Bloodline faction.
Roman Encourages Jey Uso to Pursue Another World Title
Traditionally, Roman Reigns was known to prevent other Bloodline members, including Jey Uso, from chasing the World Championship, ensuring he remained the undisputed top star. Recently, however, Reigns has shown a different attitude by actively encouraging Jey to aim for another World Title reign. This shift was evident as Reigns declined any assistance from Jey during his feud against Bronson Reed, instead pushing him to focus on his own championship opportunities. This new approach signals that Reigns has adopted a more supportive and advisory role, guiding Jey as a wise mentor rather than exclusively maintaining his dominant position.
Roman Intends to Distance Jimmy Uso from Jey’s Path
Roman Reigns confronted Jimmy Uso backstage after learning about Jimmy’s attempts to undermine Reigns’ influence over Jey. Reigns revealed he was fully aware of Jimmy’s efforts to discourage Jey from taking his advice. In response, Reigns made it clear he wanted Jimmy to stay away from Jey’s path, emphasizing that his focus was on shaping Jey’s character and career direction independently. This move hints at Roman’s larger plan to cultivate Jey’s villainous persona, encouraging him to harness his aggressive traits for strategic advantage within WWE.
Reigns Personally Guides Jey’s Career Decisions
On Monday Night RAW, Roman Reigns directly advised Jey Uso, demonstrating a more hands-on approach in guiding the Yeet Master. Unlike before, when Reigns appeared more self-focused, he now invests significant effort in mentoring Jey, steering him toward what Reigns sees as a path to success. This firsthand guidance shows Reigns stepping into a role of mentorship and support, a notable change from their previous dynamic and an important development in the Bloodline’s internal hierarchy.
This subtle yet impactful transformation in Roman Reigns’ attitude towards Jey Uso may alter the direction of both wrestlers’ careers and has resonated strongly with fans observing the evolution of their partnership. By mentoring Jey, Reigns potentially ensures a stronger legacy for the Bloodline faction and solidifies Jey’s position as a rising star.
With Roman Reigns set to face Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel 2025, the strengthened bond between Reigns and Jey Uso could prove crucial. This mentorship not only bolsters Jey’s confidence and standing but also signifies a deeper strategic mindset within WWE’s storytelling. Moving forward, fans can expect Roman’s guidance to shape Jey’s rise and influence inside the ring as they both strive for prominence.
