Roman Reigns rules over WWE as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. The Head of the Table completely reinvented himself after his return in 2020 and the momentum is clearly with him right now.
Jimmy Uso suffered a knee injury in March 2020 which put him on the shelf until May 2021. After his return, he had to earn the trust of The Tribal Chief to be included in the Bloodline.
While speaking during his Writing With Russo show, former WWE writer Vince Russo made it clear that he believes Jey Uso should be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns.
“But now Sami is playing a character on a wrestling show, and he’s different, and he’s very, very entertaining. Now, if I looked at the cards that I have, Sami doesn’t need to be a champion. He’s over. If he continues to do what he’s doing, he’ll be over. I think Jey needs it.”
“I think at this point, if we looked at Sami’s way over, Roman’s way over, so if you look at the big picture, Jey probably needs it more. So in this story, I would really concentrate on how to get Jey Uso over and get him to the next level and make [him] as valuable as the other two. That’s what I would do.”
There are also those who believe Sami Zayn will be challenging Roman Reigns instead. We will have to wait and see who will beat Reigns in the end.
