10 Best Candidates To Win WWE’s New World Heavyweight Title
6. Jey Uso
Oh sh*t.
Jey Uso vs. Roman Reigns is something WWE must come back to later this year. They've been sowing seeds aplenty for that by having Jey sort of/almost/kinda rebel against his cousin - he and Jimmy have been disappointing the 'Tribal Chief' by dropping belts to hated Bloodline rivals in headline spots at 'Mania too.
Uso threatened to become a bonafide headliner during his "Main Event Jey Uso" run several years ago, and he's been able to carry that lustre back into the tag division alongside his brother. Don't put a red pen through Jey's name just yet. That World Heavyweight belt could be his ticket out of The Bloodline for good.
Of course, fears would immediately ignite over WWE booking a "Winner Takes All" bout between he and Roman during the summer months. Reigns is absolutely brilliant, but he definitely doesn't need three World Titles. Still, it'd be sweet to see Jey get this kind of backing from creative and start standing out on his own again.
