How are we gonna get to this point? I think Roman blackmails Jey into betraying Sami and we get Sami and KO challenging the Usos while Sami tries to talk the Usos into seeing how much of a manipulative bastard Roman is

We got a bit of work to do here before we get to this match, because we were all expecting two massive moments that cemented the alignments and alliances (Jey betraying Zayn to stay heel, Owens and Zayn properly reuniting) and neither happened.

I think over the two nights of mania we’re (hopefully) gonna see the complete unraveling of the Bloodline.
Roman is going to bully Jey back into the fold but it’s tenuous at best, with maybe Jey wanting to go after Owens more than anything.
KO and Sami win but Sami gives Jey a handshake and hug after the match. Jey skulks off with his mind all messed up leading to drama in what I hope is a crazy, attitude era style interference and spot filled match with Cody and Roman on night two where everything collides

Im still holding out a shred of hope that Roman defends twice at Mania to re-split the damn belts
Cody first, Sami to finish his broken ass off.

How did Jey even become the conflicted one when he hated Sami in the first place?

I think Jey gets bullied by his brother and Roman into the match before he leaves the match after taking enough abuse causing Jimmy to eat the pin and further fracture the Bloodline

I don't see how Jey gets that mad over a clear accident and I don't trust WWE to adapt to make it make sense.

How did Jey even become the conflicted one when he hated Sami in the first place? Because he realized Sami, the dude who wasn’t even blood, was more genuine and had his back more than his own damn family. It’s important to remember that Sami’s alliance wasn’t an act or anything. Sami was dead serious. Jey was the hardest to win over but he now feels like he has a special connection with Sami that’s difficult to just brush off

I'm adamant that the best story results in Sami and Jay being on good terms by the end of Mania. Doesn't matter how we get to that point, I just think an alliance between the two could get some great mileage.
Glad that they didn't have KO reunite with Sami last night. I'm likely in the minority regarding my hopes for Mania, but here's my fantasy booking for the Mania build up regarding the tag title picture:
1. Jey remains stuck in the middle, not wanting to choose between Sami and the Bloodline. Roman becomes increasingly frustrated with Jey, although he's primarily occupied by the buildup to his match against Cody. Instead of confronting Jay directly, he continues to pressure Jimmy, Solo, and Heyman to figure things out for the next few weeks.
2. KO continues to make life hell for anyone in the Bloodline. Everyone expects the reunion with Sami, but KO can't let go of the past 6 months and ultimately beats down Sami on Raw or Smackdown. KO is rightfully paranoid, isolated, and bitter.
3. In a Raw or Smackdown very close to Mania, Jey finally make his choice and comes to Sami's aid. Jimmy remains loyal to the Bloodline and refuses to defend the tag titles alongside his brother. However it needs to be written, the tag titles are technically vacated and now we have Sami & Jey vs Jimmy & Solo at Mania.
4. KO is still stuck without a Mania match. He's justifiably bitter that everyone else is in a high stakes spot and he's been absolutely screwed for months on end. KO continues to interrupt matches involving Sami and the Bloodline.
5. It becomes apparent that KO will sabotage the Mania tag match. Instead of banning him from the arena, he's forced to become the special guest referee on the go home Smackdown before Mania. There's an added stipulation that if he gets involved or shows any bias, then he will not be allowed to wrestle in WWE ever again.
6. Sami and Jey get their moment at Mania. Jimmy is devastated to see his brother celebrate with Sami, and KO has every reason to be increasingly bitter coming out of the Mania. He's in full tweener mode for the next few months. The eventual reunion with Sami can be saved for a much later date.

I think the match can happen whether Jey hates Sami or not. He still is a champion, he's still obligated to defend the titles with his brother.

He's already shown that he's at least loyal to his brother (or at least the belts, the f***in' belt mark LOL), otherwise his issues with Reigns would've superseded him showing up to defend the belts against Strowman and Ricochet.

I'm glad they addressed that KO came out to beat up the Bloodline, not simply to save Sami.
It's like Rollins/Ambrose in...2018 I think? After all the stuff they've been through they can't immediately be buddies again. The fans want them to be but tease it for a few weeks first before the moment when they finally hug it out and vow to take down the Bloodline together.

Who’s to say Romey Rome and Jim Jim won’t make the match without Jey’s knowledge and force him to make a decision on his alliances?

KO is such a bitch lol. He’s mad that Sami watched him get his ass beat and all that, Like BRO you started the whole thing by turning on Sami your first night in the company and Sami saved your ass from Shane McMahon after all that

How did Jey even become the conflicted one when he hated Sami in the first place? The way I look at it, Jey’s hatred of Sami came from Sami wanting to be in the Bloodline. Jey fell in line under Roman initially because he was going to break Jimmy’s arm. He knows what Roman is like and how he operates and it disgusts him that he’s party to all of it, too. He’s doing it out of family obligation. So when he sees Sami actually wanting to be a part of this thing he’s only doing because he has to, he automatically believes that this must be an awful person. But over time, Jey comes to realize that this is a good dude who’s just been misguided. Then at the Rumble, Jey becomes conflicted not because he doesn’t know what he wants to do, but because he sees Sami stand up for himself against Roman, knowing that it was something he didn’t do. Sami fought in a way Jey chose not to. So the Jey Uso we’re seeing right now is one who hates himself for not doing what’s right and that’s what Sami brought out in him.
