The Bloodline saga is still one of the best told stories in WWE throughout the last five years, but one of its few flaws was none other than Jimmy Uso turning heel on his brother Jey at WWE SummerSlam 2023. Coming into the “Biggest Party Of The Summer,” Jey challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Championship after having survived his torture and abuse in the Bloodline for years. Jey’s rebellious rise as a singles star transpired shortly after both he and his brother betrayed Reigns in June of that year, which is why fans were furious when Jimmy prevented him from defeating the “OTC” at SummerSlam.
The decision to have Jimmy turn on his brother was hated mostly because it felt like WWE was ruining the hard work that was put into The Usos finally freeing themselves from Reigns’ control. After both brothers lost the tag team titles to Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 39, it was a slow but effective build towards the Usos turning on Reigns, which ultimately led to the iconic segment on “SmackDown” when Jey and Jimmy both superkicked their cousin. Therefore, when Jimmy turned on Jey just two months later, it felt like a large setback in the Bloodline saga that negatively affected the storyline told throughout the year, especially since it led to a disappointing brother-versus-brother match at WrestleMania 40.
