One of the most talked-about moments from this week's episode of WWE RAW was when Roman Reigns snubbed Jimmy Uso and instead embraced only Jey Uso upon his return. Sam Roberts thinks this might be a result of The Original Tribal Chief no longer trusting Jimmy and considering him a weak link among the three.
Reigns made his return for the umpteenth time by saving Jey and Jimmy from a post-match assault by The Vision's Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. After dealing with the two, Roman Reigns came up to Jey and hyped him up. However, what stood out was Reigns ignoring Jimmy Uso, who watched from a distance.
Many fans have been speculating that this could be the beginning of a heel turn for Jimmy. Addressing this on his NotSam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts said that Roman Reigns might have lost faith in Jimmy Uso over the past few weeks. The RAW Recap host added that Reigns could now take matters into his hands by teaming up with Jey Uso and sidelining Jimmy.
"What is the difference here? I think Roman Reigns is jumping in to save Jey because he doesn’t think Jimmy can do it. Roman and Jey can beat Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Jimmy and Jey apparently cannot. What’s the difference? Jimmy Uso. And I think that is what we’re looking at. That’s what you’re going to see.” (H/T - ITR Wrestling)

Bully Ray wants Jimmy Uso to be elevated to the same level as his brother, Jey Uso
On a recent episode of Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray spoke about his desire to see the turmoil within the Bloodline result in Jimmy's elevation in WWE. Ray feels that the 40-year-old star deserved to succeed the way his brother Jey Uso did.
"What I want to see is Jimmy [Uso] getting the same opportunities. I want to see Jimmy be put into the story now as the star and not a co-star. I want to see Jimmy flourish and thrive the same way Jey [Uso] has," Bubba Ray Dudley said.
Jimmy has been subtly hinting at internal strife within the family on social media, which has only fueled rumors of him possibly walking out on them.
