Could one of WWE's most popular babyfaces be on the cusp of a heel turn? Maybe...

Last night's Raw saw Jey Uso certainly show a more hardened, aggressive edge at several points, starting with the show's opening segment.

Raw kicked off with Jey and Jimmy Uso making their entrance through the crowd, with the Usos now reunited in a move that should hopefully give an eventual shot in the arm to the red brand's tag division. The legendary tandem made it clear that they wanted Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed at Wrestlepalooza later this month, with the Bron-Brons making their own way out to the top of the star to verbally spar with Main Event Jey and Big Jim. This was all very standard stuff; the heels promising to put the Usos in the hospital next to their cousin, Roman Reigns, etc, etc.

Things took a physical turn when LA Knight came out behind the Vision men, initially attacking Breakker, then going after Big Bronson. Of course, the numbers game soon won out for the heels, with it quickly turning to a two-on-one beatdown of the Megastar. The Usos would then get involved, hitting stereo dives out onto Breakker and Reed, and the action spilled into the ring. There, with Jey Uso backed into a corner, with LA Knight in front of him, Bronson Reed hit a running splash on Jey after Knight moved out of the way, leading to a heated stand-off between Uso and LA.

Later in the show, a backstage segment with the Usos saw Jey leave the building, aggressively telling his twin that he's got no interest in the main event of LA Knight vs. Bronson Reed, and that maybe Jey needs to start acting like someone else - namely, the no-nonsense, stern Tribal Chief - as acting like himself hasn't worked out all that well for him lately.

While Jey left at that point, he'd return once the main event broke down. Again, very standard stuff here, especially for Raw main events lately, where Breakker distracted Knight, allowing for Auszilla to hit a Death Valley Driver for the win, before it again turned it into a two-on-one beatdown of LA Knight. That led to Jimmy Uso making the save, only for the heels to take over. And then, yes, Jey Uso made the save for his brother. Even then, Breakker and Reed took over once more, with Knight coming to the rescue of the Usos and running Bron and Bronson off with a steel chair.

However, that's when things got even more interesting, as Jey Uso hit a spear on the unsuspecting LA Knight, much to the confusion of Jimmy Uso as Raw went off the air.

So, is this leading to a full-on heel turn for Jey? Will Jimmy also follow that same path, and we get a villainous, vicious Usos? Could this be part of a deeper story where Jimmy tries to convince Jey of the error of his ways? Or will this just all be forgotten about in a week or two? We'll have to wait and see how this all develops.
