Roman Reigns has decided that Jey Uso is Sami Zayn's "problem".
This is great on so many levels. First of all, putting Jey on a leash under Sami's watch exacerbates their pre-existing issues. It also makes Roman look like a meddling dick leader who loves to see his soldiers squabble and joust for his affection. There's more at play here too.
Zayn just received a leg-up in The Bloodline ranks, which makes Jimmy feel like his goofy buddy suddenly became his equal. That won't sit well with him, especially when he spots how negative an impact all of this is having on his own flesh and blood. The plot thickens, people.
This really is one of the best stories in all of pro wrestling right now. The whole angle is multi-layered, and WWE keeps finding ways to extent Sami's purpose in the stable without hot-shotting some nonsensical acceptance twist in there.
Top, top stuff.
