Jimmy Uso will return to WWE only if Solo Sikoa adds 5th member to The Bloodline, believes analyst
Jimmy Uso was nowhere to be seen during the season premiere episode of SmackDown on USA Network last week. WWE analyst Sam Roberts recently discussed a potential scenario for one-half of The Usos to return.
The recent episode of Friday Night SmackDown saw Cody Rhodes once again successfully retain his Undisputed WWE Championship against Solo Sikoa in a Steel Cage match.
Shortly after the match, The American Nightmare found himself in a four-on-one situation and faced the wrath of The Bloodline until Roman Reigns returned to save the babyface. After the chaos, Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes accepted Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu's challenge to a tag match at Bad Blood on October 5.
Speaking on the latest episode of the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts said The Orginal Tribal Chief could align with three of his biggest rivals - Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton to go up against the Solo Sikoa-led Bloodline:
"If you're going to tell me that at Bad Blood, Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns are facing Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, and maybe not at Bad Blood, but sometime in the near future, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens are going to be going after Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. It sounds to me like you've got four super babyfaces and a four-person heel combo, the likes of which need to be stopped," Roberts said.
The WWE analyst entertained the idea of Solo Sikoa bringing in a fifth member to The Bloodline, resulting in Jimmy Uso coming back to the side with the babyfaces.
The aforementioned scenario would set up a 5-on-5 WarGames match at Survivor Series this year:
"And then you go, 'Well, what about all these rumors of another person, another Tongan being added to the new Bloodline?' And that's extremely possible...So if they add another member of Solo Sikoa's Bloodline before Survivor Series and they've got a lot of time to do it so I wouldn't be shocked, especially if that new member comes in at Bad Blood and interferes in the business of Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa vs. Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. Well, now Solo's Bloodline has five members. Okay, once Solo's Bloodline has five members, that's the return of Jimmy Uso," he added. (15:19 - 17:29)
