Roman Reigns Refuses to Ask for Jey Uso’s Help During 10/11 WWE SmackDown

Roman Reigns wrestled his first match back during Bad Blood 2024, and that was a long time coming for the Original Tribal Chief. The event also saw Jimmy Uso return, and then The Rock did the same. Fans in Greenville, South Carolina couldn’t wait to see what was next as they attended the blue brand’s show.

Tensions between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa are heating up, especially after Reigns, now the new “Tribal Chief,” disbanded the original Bloodline, cutting ties with Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman. This week’s SmackDown continued that unfolding drama with Roman Reigns making his presence felt in Greenville.

Jimmy Uso opened the show to strong cheers from the crowd, gearing up for a showdown against Solo Sikoa in a classic big brother vs. little brother match. Roman Reigns soon made his entrance as the Original Tribal Chief, joining the fray and taking control of the moment.

With chants of “OTC” filling the arena, Jimmy handed Reigns the microphone. Roman told the crowd he planned to “join him to acknowledge Big Jim,” which only fueled the crowd’s excitement, leading to loud “Uso” chants.

Reigns made it clear that while he doesn’t understand the brother vs. brother rivalry, and he’s no wise man, he is the Tribal Chief—and that means taking what belongs to him. He then reflected on the success they had with The Bloodline, but admitted his dissatisfaction with his current position, emphasizing that when they’re in the ring, “the GOATS are here.”

Jimmy didn’t hold back, calling Reigns a “chief without a tribe” and reminding him that he returned at Bad Blood because Roman needed him. He hinted that they might need help to take down Solo Sikoa and suggested he had someone in mind. The crowd erupted with “Yeet” chants, but Roman dismissed it with a firm, “no Yeet.”

Jimmy ended by declaring himself the last family member who still acknowledges Roman Reigns, leaving the ring without further words from the Tribal Chief. The saga between these former allies is far from over, and it remains to be seen what twists await in this intense family feud.
