* RedOniBlueOni: With Jey having been forced to run with Roman for the better part of a year while Jimmy was out injured, The Usos have become differentiated by developing into this. Jey's personality has been molded into more or less that of an attack dog slavishly loyal to his family, while Jimmy has had time to observe the situation and think through his decisions, his fealty and principles clashing as a result. This caused Jimmy to take issue with the way Roman has been doing business, a weeks-long argument that sent Jey ping-ponging into a VillainousBreakdown before Roman finally started to {{gaslight|ing}} Jimmy and convince him to be on board. Even after rejoining The Bloodline and partaking in Roman's villainous acts, Jimmy maintains a more earnest demeanor while Jey continues acting as a bloodhound.

When Reigns' bullying finally pushed Jimmy over the edge, he pulled the trigger on a pair of Superkicks on Roman's chin that cost him his tag-team championship match, and Jey was torn, but ultimately (and reluctantly) left the event at Jimmy's side.
