10 Things We Need To See Before WWE's Bloodline Saga Ends
10. Jimmy Gets The Spotlight
From a short-to-medium term perspective, Jimmy Uso’s heel turn on brother Jey is a strange one to process. The character beat makes sense - he resents playing second fiddle to his main event twin. From a match perspective, though, it’s hard to imagine anyone really wants to watch Jimmy vs Jey (especially with the future ramifications of positioning one above the other).
In the grander scheme, though, it’s absolutely right that Jimmy takes his turn in the spotlight. His character progression has been less flashy, boasting fewer memorable moments, than that of Jey; for lengthy stretches, he has been the less important brother.
And yet he’s been there for the whole of this saga, from Jey and Roman’s I Quit match through to headlining ‘Mania and leaving the stable. This feels like a much needed change of perspective, a chance to reframe this angle through the eyes of a secondary character.
It’s easier than usual to trust that WWE will do something more interesting with Jimmy than take the obvious “I’m jealous of your success” route; whatever path they take, though, the marginally older Uso is well worthy of his moment in the sun.
