Sami Zayn, a highly popular babyface in WWE, is set to challenge Solo Sikoa for the WWE United States Championship on the next SmackDown. However, there is growing speculation that Jimmy Uso, an Original Bloodline member alongside Sami, might betray him during the match, putting Sami’s chance at the title in jeopardy.
Both Sami Zayn and Jimmy Uso have recently allied in battles against Solo Sikoa’s MFT faction, including Jacob Fatu. Despite their alliance, rumors suggest that Jimmy could turn on Sami by siding with his cousin Solo, which would dramatically alter the championship storyline and the dynamics within the Bloodline.
Jimmy Uso’s Possible Role in Changing SmackDown Alliances
Jimmy Uso could accompany Sami to ringside during the upcoming title match against Solo Sikoa. Sources indicate that during the contest, Jimmy might shock viewers by attacking Sami and costing him the championship. This potential act would appear triggered by Jimmy feeling pressured to “level up,” possibly influenced by Solo and his faction.
If this betrayal occurs, Jimmy may begin regularly assisting the MFT faction during their matches, with reciprocal support from the group. This scenario could pave the way for Jimmy to launch a solo career similar to that of his brother, Jey Uso, marking a significant shift in his WWE path.
Although the chances of this unfolding are uncertain, it raises questions about WWE’s current positioning of key players, including speculated changes involving Paul Heyman.
Sami Zayn‘s Recent SmackDown Conflict and Its Implications
On last week’s SmackDown, a chaotic sequence unfolded as the Street Profits competed against JC Mateo and Tonga Loa. In the midst of the match, Talla Tonga tried to interfere, only to be struck by Jimmy Uso with a steel chair in a brutal response.
Shortly after, Sami Zayn ambushed United States Champion Solo Sikoa from behind, landing his signature Helluva Kick before fleeing into the crowd. This sudden strike distracted Solo and allowed the Street Profits to secure the victory.
This recent attack by Sami intensifies the anticipation for Friday’s match, where the question remains if Sami can use this momentum to claim the United States Championship.
