Major Bloodline member omitted from SmackDown advertisement; WWE future remains unclearÂ
WWE SmackDown makes the big move over to The USA Network from FOX this week. Ahead of the show, the network has shared an advertisement to promote all of the stars who will now be appearing for them.
Interestingly, one major star was missing from this lineup, Jimmy Uso. The former champion was last seen back in April when he was attacked by Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga, as he made his debut on SmackDown.
Uso was kicked out of The Bloodline after he failed to defeat his own brother at WrestleMania XL and has since failed to make a return. Reports claim that he was struggling with an injury but there has been no update after Roman Reigns' return since he was expected to be part of his Bloodline.
Uso's brother continues to appear on RAW and some other injured WWE Superstars, including Roman Reigns, have been featured in the advertisement, but Uso has been omitted.
Jimmy Uso's WWE return date is unknown
Jimmy Uso is a former tag team champion and was expected to return to The Bloodline, along with Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. Interestingly, Paul Heyman also doesn't appear on the advertisement, since Reigns is alone across the opposite side of The Bloodline next to Cody Rhodes.
There seems to be a lot of confusion over Jimmy Uso's current status since he has seemingly healed from the injury that left him sidelined in April but is still no closer to a return. The current story appears to be heading toward Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu, which wouldn't include Uso unless he made his return down the line to help him in the match.
Heyman and Reigns have made appearances together outside of WWE but are yet to reunite on-screen as well, which only seems to add to the confusion surrounding The Bloodline at present.
