I’m going back and watching that, Jey Uso is so, so good at physical acting. He needs to teach a class on it.
Man teases it with his body language like three times. Completely relaxed into the “holy shit” chant, throws one small peripheral look at Sami, and bam. Dude’s as good, if not better, than Randy at timing and physical acting.

The angle is definitely coming home with a wet sail, as they say. Just hope they stick the landing.

Yeah, very few can really portray everything they body language. Randy has always been one of the tops at it but Jey is reaching to that talent of everything he is doing is money He picked it up during the Pandemic as Main Event Jey Uso and did not look out of place against Danielson and other main event stars. 3 years later, the dude is ready to really go his own path if he wants too. I would had really made him IC champ when Jimmy was injured and I just can't see him not holding a IC/US title at some point as soon as this year

Still feels like Cody is shoe shorned into this, besides the fact he's facing Roman, he really has nothing to do with the Usos, Sami and KO. His running out takes away from Sami, but he needs to, so the audience doesn't 100% back Sami.

Which is what I expect especially with Roman/Cody That will def be full of attitude era tropes. Everything from Roman hitting the low blow, the spear, gilluotine submission, Heyman helping, Usos with Solo helping, KO and Sami to run them off etc That match will be a full on cluster with high emotions

Plus it fits my head canon of Cody being the wolf in sheep's clothing taking advantage of situations to come out looking like the hero.

It's been ages since I was last hyped up for a Mania main event.

That is also a good way to go about it but I assume they save the break up and Usos getting tired of his shit until after Mania Most likely they lose Night 1 and Romans gets on them about making sure he remains champ since they failed their mission. He blames them for his loss and you set up the battle lines. Can go either way now. Usos/Solo turn face and tell Roman to f*** off. Or, Jey takes the Bloodline from Roman and Roman turns face

Cody will surely slide into a more shade of grey role but it won't happen for a while as I see them having no intentions of teasing their top babyface turning heel after just having a dominant heel run I've said before his cockyness, hubris will get the best of him as far as defending the title but it will make him a fighting champion in that he will want to defend both titles separately and loss to someone He can be the fighting work horse champion showing up on both shows and eventually that will bite him in the ass when a fresh GUNTHER steps in his path after Cody has defended the titles a few time and even tho Cody is game, he's tired and his heart won't let him back down despite the fact even at 100 percent he would have trouble with GUNTHER

It would make zero sense and ass backwards booking Cody is the top face for the next year or two and he won't be champion that long but he will be around the championship. Assuming they got Jay White, that gives him another top act to play off and even an Omega You have had a lot of heel acts go face and someone will turn heel but it won't be him. HHH likes his shades of grey

Or, Jey takes the Bloodline from Roman and Roman turns face oooh I hadn't thought of Jey taking the Bloodline, that's an interesting way to go. The end game for me was face Jey since I think he could get the crowd back REAL easy after turning on Roman. But, new head of the table heel Jey could be pretty damn cool too.

Bloodline and Imperium can essentially change places Jey can get some midcard run in a few months beating possibly Sheamus while GUNTHER rises up to the World title picture. I think a Jey turn can be great and one fans would want but big bitch energy Jey doing it for the family is a good midcard heel act as well No more Heyman or Roman, Just the Bros f***ing everyone up

His running out takes away from Sami, but he needs to, so the audience doesn't 100% back Sami. I liked it and I think it makes sense. Cody knows he's in a war with the Bloodline now, like it or not. Only fighting Roman Reigns for a championship isn't an option, so he's going to need allies. Plus it's nice to see a babyface actually be a good guy and not just sit by while a guy he's formed a small bond with gets his ass kicked. I guarantee Owens is not going to take too kindly at Cody inserting himself into his war. It will all be addressed. Also, I really hope this leads to a Smackdown were Roman and Heyman start with "See the Family is back together!" and the Usos and Solo are like "Nah, WE back together. You got some explaining to do." I think they're going to continue to play up tension in the Bloodline even as they're trying to work together for their own self preservation. This has been the best storyline WWE has done in ages. Like a good movie, it's the kind of story that's going in the direction everyone expected, but done so well and with enough drama to captivate you anyways.

Apparently Jey said something along the lines of “I trust you” to Sami before the kick, which has some assuming that Jey is just playing the Bloodline and pretending to go along with them.
