Over the past few months, fans have seen that Jimmy Uso has a great friendship with CM Punk. Even during the WWE SmackDown backstage segment, Jimmy confirmed that he had spoken to The Second City Saint and that he is on the team.

This suggests that because of his bond with Punk, Jimmy joined the babyface team for the double-structured match.


#2. To help Jey Uso in this battle

Jey Uso failed to defeat CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event, and now he is seemingly back on track. That's why he decided to help Punk on RAW after WWE SNME.

So, as The YEET Master is trying to be the heroic star again, Jimmy appears to have joined Team CM Punk to help his real-life brother. With this, The Usos will finally be reunited, despite their heated conversations in the past.

Team Punk still has one member left on its side, and that could be Roman Reigns. The Original Tribal Chief is expected to return soon on Monday Night RAW to complete the babyface team. If this happens, the heroic team will include the OG Bloodline members - Roman, Jimmy, and Jey.

At Crown Jewel 2025, the Head of the Table was unhappy with the actions of The Usos, as it cost him the match, and Bronson Reed eventually scored a victory over the OTC. Since then, Reigns has yet to make his WWE return.

When Roman joins Team Punk, he will not only help them in the Men's WarGames match but also eventually reunite with the OG Bloodline members. So, it seems that Triple H might be planning to get Reigns and The Usos on the same page again.

This contributes as the reason why Jimmy Uso talked to CM Punk and has now become officially part of the Survivor Series WarGames showdown.
