Jimmy Uso breaks silence after Roman Reigns' WWE Royal Rumble attack on Sami Zayn
Jimmy Uso took to social media to give his reaction after Roman Reigns punished Sami Zayn at the end of the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble.
Reigns defeated Kevin Owens in the main event to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. A dramatic post-match segment concluded with The Tribal Chief attacking Zayn with a steel chair after the honorary Bloodline member betrayed him.
Posting on his Instagram Stories, Jimmy Uso shared a picture of Zayn receiving a steel chair shot from Reigns. He accompanied the image with the caption, "Dam dawg."
Following his victory, Reigns ordered the rest of The Bloodline to attack the defenseless Owens. Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Solo Sikoa obeyed their leader's demand, but Zayn was reluctant to inflict further punishment on his long-time best friend.
The Tribal Chief wanted Zayn to pledge his allegiance to The Bloodline by striking a handcuffed Owens with a steel chair. The three-time Intercontinental Champion refused and hit Reigns with the weapon instead.
AN HONORARY UCE NO MORE!

Moments later, Zayn found himself on the receiving end of a three-on-one attack at the hands of Jimmy Uso, Reigns, and Sikoa. Jey Uso, who recently became friends with Zayn after months of animosity, left the ring without laying a hand on the former Honorary Uce.
What's next for Roman Reigns and The Bloodline?
