The Jimmy turn to me makes sense because Roman said it himself that, the person who was against Jey becoming tribal chief was Jimmy but we all assumed he was lying

[@chadbrisco4042]

But Jimmy Uso admitted it.

[@thomas3146]

It perfectly makes sense in many aspect ig iwc will keep complaining regardless.

[@evoxnub4195]

It made sense. Jimmy was jealous. Jey was always the right hand man and main event jey usos while jimmy was just being a tag team wrestler and a sidekick. Even Roman and heyman considered jey as the next tribal chief after Roman. And jimmy wanted that tribal chief power.

[@apecentury228]

if that's ur take, then it will lead to a Jimmy vs Jey match. But then who is Roman's next opponent?

[@evoxnub4195]

@@apecentury228 maybe they can delay jey vs jimmy till mania and now that jimmy clearly said he is not witj Roman and we all know jimmy eyes on the title and being the tribal cheif so we can have jimmy vs roman and then solo vs roman maybe and jey returns at rumble or something and a fatal 4 way at chamber would be sick and finally jimmy vs jey at mania and roman vs cody or rock at mania.

[@ashodmiah7924]

2:17 Nowhere as good!?!?! You kidding me?!?! For one thing, the moment Jimmy threw the towel in was in the clash of champions match. And also, did you forget hiw brutal that match or THAT ENDING?! Roman was in complete tears only to trap Jimmy in the guillotine for Jey to say "I quit". Idk what your talking about this was arguably the Best match from a storytelling perspective alongside the the Clash match.

[@jesseandrews6029]

It made perfect sense why Jimmy turned on Jey. Jey booted Jimmy out of the Bloodline.. in essence acting like he decides for Jimmy like he's above Jimmy. Then Jey leaves himself to challenge Roman for the singles WorldbTitle leaving Jimmy vacant. Jimmy had no choice but to return to Roman... or spend his career in Jeys shadow. I believe your rankings were all perfect. Outstanding analysis.

The Cesaro match didn't have interference from Rollins, that was after the match. This is a rare time where Roman actually won clean and by submission no less.

[@Pro_gamerMike47]

Omg the Jimmy Uso turn MADE sense. I get that people have different opinions but they were hints that Jimmy would turn. He never denied he wasn't against Jey being right hand man, Jimmy kicked Roman first but Jey got the match and on the week Roman stood tall on smack down before Summerslam he threw out a ton of hints in the promo. It's gonna be a jealousy storyline but yeah tribal combat should've been only one on one and if Jimmy does join Roman again (highly doubt it) then THAT wouldn't make sense

[@aaronmason7861]

[@Tony-uu9hs]

good video as always thank you Santi

[@chadbrisco4042]

I feel like the that's why he did it moment for Jimmy is in the segment where it was revealed that Jimmy Uso was the one that didn't want Jey to become the right hand man and the next tribal chief because he was jealous of Jey. I feel like Jimmy getting hurt and Jey getting yet another title shot because of his injury just like in 2020 is what sets him off. He's jealous because this is the second time Jey Uso has benefited from Jimmy Uso getting injured. I think thats the storyline they were going and there were definitely hints thrown down about it.

[@claytonjames1558]

Also the Uso turn at the recent Summerslam may make more sense in coming weeks but I doubt it. I think it could be cool if you did a series of videos (In one video this would take hours) but ranking PPV from like 1998-2008 or something like that. If you just did main events that would be cool cos it was shorter but if you wanted to do total PPVs that's your call. You always do pretty informed stuff which is why I love your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@user-zf1hv5nd6y]

Roman VS. Balor would've been way better if Paul Heyman cut the ropes right beside balor, it would've made Paul Heyman going back to lesnar more unexpected and would've made the match way better.

I would flip Clash of Champions and HIAC. There was a lot more storytelling in the HIAC match and really built Roman as this brutal, heartless final boss-like character. It gave us the first clue of what he was willing to do to stay champion and what being champion meant for him.

In the segment where Jey kicked Roman, Roman said Jimmy was the only one who objected to Jey being the next Tribal Chief and when Jey asked Jimmy, he said it was true, Jey went on a whole rant and then said him and Jimmy were out of the Bloodline before kicking Roman, but everyone seems to just forget Jimmy admitting it to Jey and only remember Jey kicking Roman.

[@Austin123.]

Someone started going way back for reasons Jimmy betrayed Jey, it makes sense now. 1- Jealousy: All Jey's single title fights he loses because of Jimmy. Clash of Champions, Jimmy threw in the towel. Hell in a Cell, Jey Uso refused to say I quit and was used for him to say the words. Jey Uso stopped Solo Sikoa from attacking Jimmy which then Jimmy went to super kick Solo yet superkicked Jey instead. And now Jey at Summerslam almost beat Roman but Jimmy get involved again which resulted in him losing the title match again. The only time Jey was able to win a championship or pin a champion, was all when Jimmy was there to share the moment with him like Money in the Bank. Reminder from when Jimmy superkicked Jey when he was challenging the US title, Paul Heyman told Jey that Jimmy superkicked him intentionally and that he never misses. That Jimmy is clearly jealous of him. The segment where Jey was to pick a side and Jimmy came out. Roman reminded us all that Jimmy was the only one who had a problem with Jey becoming the right hand man to him. Roman also stated that Jimmy is an anchor and he's the wings. That he lifts Jey up whilst Jimmy drags him down. Which is true as everytime Jey almost wins a singles title, Jimmy loses him the match. Jimmy stated before Night of Champions towards both SZ & KO that when it comes to day one he's the tribal chief. Which means he sees himself as the successor and the next Tribal Chief not his younger siblings. He was against Roman picking Jey to be his right hand man, he has costed Jey to win his singles title matches, and etc. 2 - Betrayal On the go home show to MITB, both the Usos stated they didn't want to be Tribal Chief. They wanted to humble Roman and fix him. They want to to stop being so controlling and etc. Yet once MTB was over and Jimmy was taken out by Roman, the first thing Jey did was challenge to be Tribal Chief and to become Champion. Roman stated that they only reason Jey became the right hand man was because Jimmy was hurt and that if he didn't get hurt, he'd make Jimmy the right hand man. He's basically saying that Jey overstepped his brother whilst he was injured and took his place as the right hand man. Even Jey said to Jimmy to his face before he sided with him that a blessing happened in disguise, when he got hurt and that he stepped up. Thusly meaning again, if Jimmy didn't get injured in 2020 then again there would be no right hand man or Jimmy would've taken that spot. In Jimmy's perspective when he got hurt, Jey instantly got a title match and seemed more focus on becoming the new Tribal Chief. Perhaps Jimmy also sees that Jey lost sight of the original plan and goal. That they didn't want to rid Roman but to humble him. He never wanted to leave the Bloodline but saw that Roman needs fixing. He didn't like how he was being treated and his whole purpose of hitting Roman to challenge him in a civil war all was about humbling him. 3 - He didn't wanna lose his brother Despite him wanting what's best for his brother he doesn't wanna see Jey win and get caught up as being Tribal Chief. He doesn't want his brother to turn into a Roman 2.0 where he is a tyrant. So in theory. He betrayed Jimmy because he didn't truly betray the Bloodline, all he wanted was to humble Roman and get him back on track. Jey challenging to be the Chief and the Champion, makes Jimmy feel betrayed in the goal they both set out to do. Remember also that Jimmy knew that Roman was grooming Jey to be the next Tribal Chief. And Jimmy was against it as he didn't want Jey, who is a bit of an emotional character that does have some built up anger, he thinks that he should be the next Tribal Chief over Jey. As he believes he would be able to bring the family closer and not turn into a lunatic like Roman is at current. He believes that him stopping Jey from beating Roman at Summerslam was him saving him from losing his brother if he's ontop of the world. He wanted only to humble Roman back to what he was before and wanted to keep Jey humbled. Though who knows, we won't really know until tomorrow. __ Welcome to my TedTalk

[@mydhouse]

If the Jimmy turn makes no sense, then you haven’t been paying attention. Jimmy wanting Jey to leave Roman, Jimmy getting hurt and Jey getting a world title shot, Roman literally told us that Jimmy didn’t want Jey to be the right hand man or “Main Event Jey Uso” and Jimmy even admits to it but Jey is so loyal to Jimmy that he still sides with him, then Jimmy gets hurt AGAIN and Jey get a world title shot AGAIN. Jimmy doesn’t wanna be the “Jannetty” of the Usos or the secondary Uso and likely feels that Jey only cares about about himself and being better than Jimmy, especially after Jey chose Sami over his family at the rumble then ghosted him for weeks before returning then losing the tag titles at mania. Especially because no matter how fun and loving Jimmy was to Sami he was always loyal to his family over everything else. Jimmy will probably blame Jey for him getting hurt and say that he’s holding him back. If the turn didn’t make sense to you that’s your fault because the hints have BEEN there. Not to mention Jimmy was just “accidentally” kicking Jey in the face

[@johnnycashsstand-in8945]

Response to your comments on Roman vs. Jey III: I think the explanation for Jimmy turning on Jey isn’t nonsensical in the slightest. Of course, WWE is probably gonna fuck it all up anyway. Here’s what I think. Jimmy “turns” on Jey not because he doesn’t want Jey to win the Championship, but rather he doesn’t want him to become the Tribal Chief. He saw what being Tribal Chief did to Roman, so he doesn’t want the same to happen to him brother. Solo’s already too far gone, so the least he could do would be to save his twin. Jey will be pissed on SmackDown and in the build to their inevitable match, and rightfully so since him winning would’ve put an end to the Tribal Chief Era. Also, Jimmy hasn’t exactly rejoined the Bloodline at the moment. This can be supported by the observation that Jimmy didn’t celebrate with Roman following his win. I think this will lead to a match between the brothers at Payback with Rikishi being some type of special guest referee or enforcer. Just an explanation I saw on KZbin that I added to a bit.
