** [[HistoryRepeats Jey Uso alone]] in general ever since he became the number one contender for Roman Reigns's Universal Championship in 2020, with Roman's abuse and manipulation turning Jey into one of ''Wrestling/WWESmackDown''[='=]s top stars. It became fully cemented at the end of ''Royal Rumble'' 2023, where he walked out of the ring in shock and tears.

By 2024 he already established himself as "Main Event" Jey Uso and the crowd at Backlash 2024 showered him with a hero's welcome.



* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: While the entirety of The Bloodline rivalry has been critically acclaimed, one of the best parts of it is Jey's reactions to every twist and turn. The moment when Sami betrays The Bloodline by hitting Roman with a chair and Jey leaving made many fans realize that Jey was one of the best parts of the whole storyline.
* SeasonalRot: Jimmy turning on Jey is generally considered to be where the Bloodline arc took a nosedive, seeing the move as completely nonsensical especially when it was Jimmy who had been the one who pulled the trigger on Roman. Jimmy then almost immediately crawling back to the Bloodline made his character appear even more inconsistent. As a result, the whole storyline seems to be mired in a muddied holding pattern until it can closer to a finale come next April.

** The end of ''[=SummerSlam=]'' 2023. Jey is about to pin Roman and be Tribal Chief...only for someone to drag Jey out of the ring. And said someone is ''Jimmy''! After everything they went through together, trying to look out for one another after Roman gaslit them, Jimmy did the unthinkable and betrayed his own brother. Michael Cole is left screaming "[[EttuBrute WHY JIMMY?!]]" in confusion. The following Smackdown reveals that Jimmy did it as NecessarilyEvil; he was afraid of his brother becoming corrupted with power like Roman was. Jey cannot take that as an answer, superkicking everyone, even Jimmy, before proclaiming he is [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere out]]. Out of the Bloodline, out of Smackdown, out of WWE (until he returns as a wrestler for RAW). Meanwhile, Jimmy has gone completely insane, soaking up the heat and essentially turning into a delusional Roman wannabe, going as far as to once again screw Jey over during the 10/16/23 RAW and letting The Judgment Day become undisputed tag team champions again. Jimmy's actions to "save" his brother and his inability to move on has destroyed their relationship.

** Another theory has popped up that Jimmy intentionally went back to Roman not to become a bootlicker, but to help inspire ''Solo'' to gradually stand up to Roman and either leave the Bloodline or become the new Tribal Chief. It's shown how Solo is starting to confront Roman more, with Roman looking ''terrified'' of Solo standing up to protect Jimmy.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Was Jimmy's act of preventing Jey from defeating Roman Reigns at ''[=SummerSlam=]'' 2023 really to save Jey from the potential corruption that could come? Or was it because he was ''jealous'' of Jey's opportunity? Speaking of, is Jimmy's act really an act or has [[SanitySlippage he lost his mind]] over being separated from his brother [[SelfFulfillingProphecy and becoming the very same thing he was preventing Jey from becoming?]] Judging by how he's trying to get back into the Bloodline and later costing Jey and Cody's tag team titles to The Judgment Day, he's JumpedOffTheSlipperySlope.

** Jey's first night as a single competitor on RAW has him reunite with Sami Zayn, and the two hug it out. Considering the bad blood between the two for the past year or so, Sami's willingness to forgive Jey had the crowd cheering.
