Time to admit something x2.

Jimmy Uso is trying his best, but he just isn't coming across as a big deal at the moment. In fact, LA Knight towered over him in terms of star power during both the opening segment and their main event against one another. It's clear that Jimmy is an afterthought creatively right now. Crystal clear.

Fingers crossed Roman returning next week helps Jimmy's cause and gives him back some of that sparkle he did previously possess. Otherwise, he could be doomed to slip further into a background role and end up being more of a Bloodline heavy than Solo Sikoa is.

Jimmy doesn't seem to have the same magic his brother Jey does on the mic, which is strange considering they seemed interchangeable as dynamic characters a short while back. Reigns better have something cool up his sleeves to turn Jimmy's fortunes around.
