The influence of Roman Reigns on Jey Uso has become increasingly visible over the past few weeks. Uso has been teasing a heel turn for quite some time now and has seemingly taken some major advice from the Tribal Chief. In a recent interview, the former World Heavyweight Champion revealed that his cousin now sees him as an equal.
Jey Uso is set to face CM Punk for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship at the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event. He earned this opportunity by eliminating his twin brother, Jimmy Uso, in a Battle Royal that determined the number one contender for the title.
Ahead of his major title match, Jey Uso appeared in an interview during an episode of RAW Recap. When asked if Roman Reigns has started to treat him differently now that he is a former World Heavyweight Champion, Jey explained:
“He see me now, you know what I’m saying, Uce, we equals now, you know, he did teach me the game, man. I was a student to him, I sat under the learning tree all of COVID. I was there. Like front row, man. I had my ticket, just learning the game, man, learning from Big Uce, learning from The Wiseman.” [26:04-26:26]
It will be interesting to see if Jey Uso can capture the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
**Roman Reigns’ Absence from WWE Programming**
Roman Reigns has been absent from WWE television since the Crown Jewel event. At Crown Jewel in Perth, Reigns faced Bronson Reed in an Australian Street Fight. After a chaotic and hard-fought match, Bronson Reed, also known as “Auszilla,” secured one of the biggest wins of his career by defeating Reigns.
Following the match, Reigns expressed his anger and disappointment with the Usos before walking out of the event. Since then, fans have been eagerly waiting to see when the Tribal Chief will return to WWE programming.
The ongoing storyline between Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, and the pursuit of the World Heavyweight Championship continues to captivate WWE audiences, promising exciting developments in the near future.
