It was announced last week that Jimmy Uso would return to SmackDown to answer what’s next in the Bloodline saga. However, the superstar was absent from the SmackDown programming even after being advertised for the show. The possible reason behind WWE scrapping plans for Jimmy has been speculated.

The potential reason behind the alteration of the plans for Jimmy Uso can be the tragic news of Bray Wyatt. The unexpected demise of the Eater of the Worlds has left the world in a state of shock. It was revealed earlier that WWE had scrapped all its original plans for SmackDown. Thus, those scrapped plans might have also included Jimmy Uso’s segment.

WWE might have wanted to make the tribute to Bray Wyatt the focus of this week’s SmackDown. Thus, the advertised Bloodline segment was called off. With WWE losing two of its great performers, Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt, it might seem like the right call.

WWE has now advertised that Jimmy Uso will be appearing next week on SmackDown. The question remains the same, as WWE Universe is still in shock as the brother betrayed the brother. It is going to be interesting to see the response of Jimmy Uso, as his brother Jey Uso walked out of WWE the last time Bloodline was on SmackDown.

WWE Universe was left speechless when Jimmy Uso betrayed Jey Uso at SummerSlam. Fans have been speculating about the possible reason for the turn of events during the match. After the last interaction of Bloodline, Jey Uso walked out of WWE, leaving Jimmy stunned with a superkick. So here are some things Jimmy could possibly say next week on SmackDown:

Jimmy Uso can challenge Jey Uso for a grudge match. It has been long speculated that Jey and Jimmy will face each other at some point in this feud. However, the rumors claim that WrestleMania will be the place where they finally fight. More realistically, WrestleMania is too far to stretch this feud. Therefore, Jimmy can challenge Jey, forcing him to come back to WWE.

Jimmy can also walk out of WWE to show his anger and frustration with the circumstances. If WWE is planning to hold the first match between the Usos at WrestleMania, there is a need for a solid reason to do so. If both the Usos walk out of WWE and return at some point later this year, it can establish a WrestleMania-worthy feud between the two.
