I'll take "shit the McMahons are doing to deliberately sink WWE for Endeavor" for $100, Mayim.

I'm going with evil third twin (yes, I said third twin. No, you shut up.), but they didn't think about the fact that they don't have a third twin to show and so we end up with some questionable editing and camera shots to make it seem like there is. Whenever they can't avoid needing all three of them in a shot or a match, they put a wig on Dolph Ziggler and figure no one will notice.

Jimmy reveals grainy hospital footage showing a nurse accidentally putting the wrong tags on each of the Uso babies, meaning that Jimmy has actually been Jey the whole time, and Jey has been Jimmy. The announce team solemnly says something like "This changes everything" and Jimmy now becomes Main Event Jey and the Usos are forced to rejoin the Bloodline with Jimmy (now Jey) as the right hand (it is never explained how they legally compel Jey, now Jimmy, to rejoin the Bloodline, but he has to do it anyway), until it's eventually revealed that Heyman faked that footage, but also Solo gets fed up and breaks off from the Bloodline and leaves WWE, only for it to be revealed Solo was a twin as well and his twin, Duo (Solo but with a hat on) shows up to stop some face from beating Roman. (This is also later to be revealed to be a ruse when Duo dramatically removes his hat and the announcers are like "My god, Duo has been Solo all along!" and it's never revealed why they went through this elaborate ruse rather than just have Solo keep interfering for Roman since there is never any consequence for him doing so.) Makin' me proud, bro!

they'll say jealousy but we all know it's that last one. Disagree. It was pretty clear this was what they were going to do for a minute. Not liking it is fair, but nevertheless they had a plan and stuck to it

Until we find out, my guess is a mix of jealousy and Roman/Heyman getting into his head

Not liking it is fair, but nevertheless they had a plan and stuck to it It contradicts the story that they were talking about in the match. It was an unnecessary swerve for the sake of keeping the belt on Roman and the Usos interfere is literally the only idea they've had for 3 years.

Their other idea was also “The Usos question each other’s loyalty to each other”.

Roman's ....reign (no pun intended) has been a 3 year version of what Jinder Mahal's reign was with the Usos playing the role of the Singh bros

I think it can be traced all the way back when the Usos were wee lads and had this exchange at school lunch.
Jey: Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis is the best game ever.
Jimmy: I disagree. I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever.
Jey: Donkey Kong sucks!
Jimmy: You know what . . .

I keep seeing, “No it makes sense if you think about it.”
Hey, I thought about it. I don’t think it makes sense. You can retcon anything wrestling to make sense if you work hard enough. It’s lame. It’s not “cinema”. It’s a storyline that should’ve ended by now.

Jimmy walks into the ring on Friday and says “FOUR LOKO.. MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING” and then we see him again in six months.
Roman then goes on to show up a year later while Jey loses to Austin Theory 7 times in a row.

I didn't love the Roman/Jey match, but I don't think the Jimmy/Jey stuff happening is the problem, it's when it's happening. Jimmy/Jey feels like a match they should have saved for Mania. Maybe that's where their rivalry ends or something, but that felt like the move.
All Jimmy has to do is show up on Friday and be like "you didn't stick with me after they beat me up, you went and had to try and steal the glory for yourself instead of waiting for me to come back so we could take down Roman together." It's honestly not that difficult a story to tell, IMO, and it plays off the very real fact that Jey's been the breakout from this story and not Jimmy.
The larger issue is that this should have ended at Mania, but I don't think they wrote themselves into a corner. I think they may run out of story, but that's different than writing yourself into a corner with no other direction to go.

It honestly feels like they write entire interesting stories and then somebody rips out the final chapter containing the climax and intended ending and replaces it with:
"... and then after a screwy finish Roman wins. The end."
And they've been doing it for years.

Jey accidentally deleted Jimmy's 100% save of Final Fantasy VII off his Playstation memory card and he's been silently nursing the grudge ever since.
And if that was the real reason, I can't blame him. Breeding a Gold Chocobo was a hapless timesink and I'd swear unholy vengeance against someone who did that to me, too.

Not liking it is fair, but nevertheless they had a plan and stuck to it It was clear that they were going to go the direction of having the guy who initiated Jey turning on Roman, by super kicking Roman and turning on him first, team with his brother in a tag match where they actually defeat Roman and was then severely beaten and hospitalized, only for him to then immediately rejoin/reveal he was always on the side of the guy who he initiated the betrayal of in the first place? Because that's the opposite of clear, and very much contradicts the story they told for the last several months and ultimately makes everything since Wargames utterly pointless.

If it is jealously and Jimmy actually brought into Romans Bullshit after spending all that time getting Jey to wake up and smell the roses, then that is depressing as f***.
