I'm just tired of seeing him act conflicted and ultimately choosing evil over and over and over for the past three years. He's teased being on Sami's side twice now before kicking his ass. At some level I'm just left feeling like you're a dick and I don't care if you end up turning on Roman or not.

It's part of the problem. You can only go to the well of teasing Jey having issues with Roman and then falling in line before it just becomes another part of the meaningless repetition that is Roman's reign.

We're only just getting started so plenty more chances for Jey to be conflicted and then stick with the Bloodline!!!
Will Jey stay with the Bloodline!?!? Maybe he'll vanish and come through the crowd some more!!! Can't wait to see Roman brooding in his room about this one!!!!!

"Maybe I'm with the Bloodline...or maybe I'm not, brother! It's not up to me, dude!" - Jey "Deadlock Hulk" Use-a-mania
...why yes, I'll drive this joke into the ground until I hit the Earth's mantle, thank you very much.

The best television shows know to call it when you’re on top. Dexter had an amazing first season, a good second season, a decent third season, an amazing fourth season and then it fell apart. Breaking Bad on the other hand ended on top.
The Bloodline shit won’t be remembered as fondly as it is now if it ends on a whimper. Right now, it’s looking like it’s headed that direction.

HHH is great at building heat but terrible at paying heat off. Was the same nonsense during his reign of terror. He did the same thing with Asuka in NXT where instead of having someone beat her down there she got called up without dropping the title so someone else could get the rub. He’s doing the same thing with the Bloodline now.
Basic psychology dictates that if you keep jerking people around they’re eventually going to lose interest and then what should be a huge moment becomes a “I’m just glad that it’s over moment”. Especially this deep into a run where an injury or anything could happen.
Drew had the home crowd and the first PPV in UK in ages.
Sami had the story and the home crowd.
If you want to push it off to WM that was fine. Cody was very over and the arena wanted to explode.
Now it’s just like they’ve taken the edging too long and no one can get off. LMAO

Yeah they’ve pulled this same swerve about six times now. You could see it coming ten miles away last night.
Jey just comes off like a weak-willed wimp at this point.

I don't care about anything involving The Bloodline anymore. Liv could join and I'd have no interest, lol.

Yeah, this is stupid.
They had multiple chances for Jey to break away and be his own man... and they didn't do it.
If they have him do it now it's gonna go over like a fart in church.

They’re not the Bloodline anymore. They’re “The Blueballs”.

At this stage, Jey turning on Roman looks off the table, looks like he either he stays with The Bloodline or Roman gives him the boot. Either way, dude is going to look like an absolute bitch, and if Roman turns on him then you've got a weak face that nobody is going to want to cheer.

They did this same type of prolonged "there's issues in the nWo brother oh no!!" only for it to lead nowhere shit week after week in WCW and everyone rightfully criticizes it but when WWE does it it's "long term storytelling" for some reason lol

Another interpretation is that Jey doesn't feel conflicted at all, he's just acting like he is in order to manipulate Zayn and try to drive a wedge between him and Owens, who wanted to move on from The Bloodline.

Teasing a face turn then being like “Swerve got ya again!”. There needs to be a segment soon where Roman confronts the Uso’s on losing the tag belts instead of him ignoring them. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Jey is if Starscream wasn't fun Yeah, Starscream at least had delusions of grandeur... Jey just wants to be a bitch for no reward. Before you point out the long title reign... the Usos were already having massively long reigns BEFORE joining Roman.

Pretty sure they’re going to have him fully Bloodline for a bit longer, especially while Roman is away. And then revisit later in the year, when the storyline will likely be red hot again

He's just a generic heel again now.
If he ever does betray Roman and turn babyface it will get a big reaction but it won't mean anywhere near as much as if he'd done it at Mania to help Cody win or even more so, if he'd done it to help Sami win.
I'm sure they'll try and do it again because it seems to be the only Bloodline story they have but it's diminishing returns now.
