39-year-old superstar to return on SmackDown to save Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns? Chances analyzed
In tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns is officially set to make an appearance following his victory in the tag team main event over The Bloodline at Bad Blood 2024. However, a concerning issue for both Roman and his partner Cody Rhodes was the post-match return of The Rock, who seemingly put them on notice.
Recent hints from WWE suggest that, despite Cody Rhodes clashing with Gunther at Crown Jewel 2024, he may still not be done with The Bloodline story. This raises the possibility of both The OTC and The American Nightmare being in danger from Solo Sikoa's faction on SmackDown tonight. If this happens, Jey Uso could be the star to come to the aid of the babyfaces.
Currently, the YEET Master is the Intercontinental Champion on Monday Night RAW, but the WWE Universe believes Jey will eventually return to The Bloodline Saga to support Roman Reigns. Jey even teased his reunion with the original faction recently.
With all this in mind, there are decent chance that Jey Uso might make an unexpected appearance on tonight's WWE SmackDown to save Roman and Cody if the situation arises.
An appearance from the YEET Master would indeed be a great twist if it happens on tonight's show, as Jimmy Uso also just returned, and fans could finally witness a Roman, Jey, and Jimmy reunion.
Why Jey Uso's return to SmackDown in tonight's show could be a bad sign
If the Intercontinental Champion returns to the blue brand on tonight's show to aid Roman and Cody, it could be a sign that Jey Uso may lose his title soon. It seems unrealistic that the Stamford-based promotion would bring him back into the family drama with the gold still around his waist.
The Intercontinental Championship has become an integral part of Monday Night RAW. Besides, SmackDown already has the United States Championship as its mid-card title.
Thus the red brand would be left without a mid-card title if Jey Uso decided to take his iconic belt to SmackDown when he becomes an integral part of The Bloodline saga again.
Therefore, Jey’s return to The Bloodline story could be a major hint that he might lose the Intercontinental Championship soon.
Jey's feud with Bron Breakker has not ended, especially after the former NXT star attacked the champion following the latter's victory over Xavier Woods on a recent episode of RAW. It remains to be seen how things will unfold on tonight's episode of the blue brand and whether Jey Uso will make an appearance.
