10 New Directions For WWE After Backlash 2023

2. Roman Reigns Siding With Solo Sikoa

Two predictions upcoming.

Firstly, Jey Uso will try to convince Roman Reigns that his brother Solo Sikoa needs a little reminder of the pecking order in The Bloodline. Then, after that, Roman will remind Jey that he's the family leader and everyone else is a soldier who stands on equal footing.

Second, Reigns will tear strips off The Usos for that miscommunication at Backlash, and praise Sikoa for getting the job done. That'll infuriate Jey, because he'll wonder aloud what he has to do to earn Roman's respect. The answer? "Stop screwing up and letting other people take your eyes off family".

Solo’s issues with his brothers (more so Jey than Jimmy) is the next wrinkle WWE can explore for a few months. They might have to - upcoming challengers for Roman's Undisputed Titles will be secondary at best, so more Bloodline trouble in paradise could be creative's saving grace.

Long-term, Jey will be on the outs.
