5. Jimmy Uso Isn’t Cutting It

This has been a rough ride for Jimmy Uso.

His character has been all over the place lately, and not in a good way. If Jim's supposed to come across as dangerous because he's erratic and desperate, then WWE has done a poor job hammering that home. Being frank, the dude's character is rather uninteresting these days, which is a bummer.

Uso will be fed to LA Knight next week. On paper, that's fine, but some context is needed. Why has Jimmy gone from questioning Roman Reigns' leadership to wiping the 'Tribal Chief's' butt and fetching him coffee like nothing happened? Such characterisation is too scatty to really mean anything.

Jimmy is sinking fast, and is surely now behind even Solo Sikoa as an ongoing concern. If he's happy to play that role, cool, but it can't be satisfying. One thing's crystal: Uso isn't strong enough to carry Bloodline stuff on his own. SmackDown proved that.
