At Money in The Bank, a monumental incident occurred in WWE as Jey Uso, a member of the formidable Bloodline faction, brought an end to Roman Reigns’ legendary streak of 1,294 days without suffering a pin-fall loss. The shocking turn of events left the WWE Universe in awe as Uso managed to secure the pinfall victory over the dominant Universal Champion.
Reigns’ streak, which had become synonymous with his dominance, came to a stunning halt, signaling a potential shift in power within the Bloodline. This unexpected outcome has sparked intense speculation and excitement among wrestling fans, eager to witness the repercussions and the future direction of the Reigns-Uso rivalry.
Jey Uso breaks Roman Reigns first time in three years
The recent Money in The Bank event left the WWE Universe on the edge of their seats with its electrifying and shocking moments. While the event itself made headlines for being held in London, the true spotlight was on The Bloodline and its internal conflict.
The unexpected clash between brothers, Jey Uso and Roman Reigns, was a spectacle that many fans never anticipated. However, as The Usos emerged victorious over Reigns, keen-eyed fans noticed a remarkable similarity that added an intriguing twist to the storyline.
The fracture in The Bloodline began when Sami Zayn betrayed Reigns after enduring humiliation from the group. But it was Jey Uso’s Superkick to Roman at a SmackDown event that truly shook the foundation of their familial bond. The Usos had evidently reached their breaking point with the Tribal Chief, setting the stage for an intense showdown.

In a thrilling encounter, The Usos ultimately won the Bloodline Civil War against Reigns and his ally Solo Sokoa. This marked a significant moment as it was the first time Roman had been pinned since 2019.
The match delivered a captivating performance to the electrified crowd at London’s 02 Arena. Interestingly, the manner in which Roman was pinned mirrored his first-ever pinfall loss in WWE when Jey Uso was the one to secure the victory.

The irony was not lost on fans as Jey Uso had come full circle, being the first person to pin Roman Reigns back in September 2013 and now, a decade later, becoming the one to break Reigns’ impressive streak of no pinfall losses.
This monumental win for Jey and his brother Jimmy, who have been consistent performers and tag team partners in WWE, serves as a reminder that hard work and dedication can yield incredible results in the world of professional wrestling.
