Roman Reigns has to acknowledge top WWE star, former analyst says
The October 25 episode of SmackDown was noteworthy for several reasons, but nothing was bigger than Roman Reigns staring from the entrance ramp as The Usos reunited in the middle of the ring. Was it remorse on the face of Reigns?
Former WWE analyst Matt Camp says Roman Reigns needs to acknowledge Jey Uso. Camp believes the former Intercontinental Champion has grown in the past year and has no business playing "second fiddle" to the OTC.
Discussing the turn of events on SmackDown with WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry on the Busted Open podcast, Camp noted that this is the only way Main Event Jey can truly join forces with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso to take on Solo Sikoa's Bloodline.
"If you're going to get Jey back in the fold, Roman has to look at him—Roman has to acknowledge him. He has to look at Jey as an equal. Whether he is or not in the eyes of fans, we will see. Obviously, Reigns has more accomplishments. But I don't want Jey coming back as a second fiddle. He's beyond that now," Camp said. [From 20:17 to 20:40]

Since moving on from The Bloodline last year, Jey Uso held the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship with Cody Rhodes and won his first singles title recently, the Intercontinental Championship. More importantly, he is incredibly over among fans at this moment.
Roman Reigns will reportedly get a helping hand from his former rivals in WWE
Things are heating up as Crown Jewel emanates from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in a week's time. Meanwhile, the addition of Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes to The OTC's team has been reported.
According to Sportskeeda Wrestling's Dr. Chris Featherstone, both stars will join Roman Reigns at Survivor Series to take on Solo Sikoa's Bloodline. Zayn is expected to be on RAW this week to begin the buildup for the Thanksgiving event. But that is not all.
SPOILER ALERT!
WWE is booking the OG Bloodline against the new Bloodline at Crown Jewel in a tag team contest. This unexpected move was officially announced on the go-home edition of SmackDown before Crown Jewel. The episode will be telecast next Friday, as the company pre-taped the show after this week's edition of the blue brand.
The details of the bout are not clear at present, as Sikoa's team consists of four members including himself, while Jey Uso is seemingly finally on the same page as the OTC and Big Jim making it three people.
Meanwhile, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry noted on the same podcast that upon The Rock's return, it is possible that The Final Boss eliminates Solo Sikoa from The Bloodline.
