Paul Heyman seemingly was left in tears as The Bloodline has been completely annihilated. Roman Reigns was seen pouting in the middle of the ring at this week’s Friday Night SmackDown after The Usos left him in a heap of guilt, resentment, and astonishment. On the blue brand, Jey Uso made the decision to stand next to his twin during decision night.
Reigns finally received his just desserts. He is no longer recognized by the Usos as “The Tribal Chief.” Former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley expressed his response to seeing the twin brothers betray their relative. And it appears that he might be eager to assist the injured Uce.
"You deserve it! 👏 👏 👏 "

Jey Uso turns on the Tribal Chief
The SmackDown Live broadcast from this week may have featured the most eagerly awaited pro wrestling moment of the year. Jey Uso surprised the world after a protracted buildup when he joined his brother Jimmy Uso in renouncing their affiliation with The Bloodline by thrashing their cousin, WWE Universal Champion “Muscle of The Shield” Roman Reigns.

What may be the greatest WWE storyline of the modern age gains another significant chapter with The Usos turning their back on The Bloodline and Paul Heyman. The twin brothers endured years of torture and deceit in order to support Reigns, who assumed the post of Tribe Chief and is currently enjoying a reign of more than 1,000 days over the championship.
In 2020, Jey Uso and Roman Reigns fought in back-to-back pay-per-view main events for the Universal Title in a highly praised vendetta.
Paul Heyman sells the historic moment
For his role as the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns has received tremendous accolades from both fans and colleagues. Since rejoining WWE at WWE SummerSlam 2020 during the epidemic era after leaving when the virus originally started, Reigns has been involved in the main narrative.
The Bloodline storyline starring Paul Heyman, Reigns, and The Usos (Jey Uso & Jimmy) has bogarted WWE programming throughout the end of 2022 and well into 2023, with Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa playing significant roles. Heyman discussed the story’s development in detail on the SI Media podcast.
“You know the old expression, ‘it takes a team?’ It certainly has with us. There are a lot of people who have worked really hard to make this work. It kind of all filters through Roman Reigns’ field,” he started.
“There are several people that come to me to present things to Roman, and then Roman and I will talk about it and come back with either something that fits into their narrative or something that we would hope, we could perhaps enhance it or put it in our own words, or come back with, ‘that doesn’t work for us, what about this?’ he continued.
“And start a different process and we’re bouncing ideas off of them. When I say ‘them,’ the thing with Sami started when Vince (McMahon) was still running creative, so it started under Vince McMahon’s creative regime,” he concluded.
Heyman cited examples of how they subtly referred to other scenes in the narrative, like when “The Tribal Chief” gave Sami the chair at the Royal Rumble and then did the same for Jey at the Elimination Chamber.
Bloodline Civil War confirmed for WWE MITB
During this morning’s episode of SmackDown Low Down, which streams on Peacock, a significant match was revealed. Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa’s match against The Usos at Money In The Bank will result in a Bloodline civil war, according to McKenzie Mitchell.
Jey Uso apparently teased turning on Jimmy and staying in The Bloodline last night on WWE’s Friday Night SmackDown, but it was a swerve and both Jey and Jimmy took out Solo Sikoa and “The Enforcer” Reigns disappointing Paul Heyman.
The Usos versus Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, WWE Money In The Bank will be shown live on Peacock on July 1st, Saturday, from O2 Arena of London. At WWE Money In The Bank, where Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa will enter the ring to face the angry Usos, the Bloodline civil war is set to break out.
