#1 Will Jimmy Uso acknowledge Roman Reigns as The Tribal Chief in WWE?
Trending
The Samoan family conflict between Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso ended this week's WWE SmackDown.
Throughout the night, WWE built a narrative that Jimmy wanted his brother, Jey Uso, to free himself from Reigns' shackles. Meanwhile, Reigns expressed his wish to bring Jimmy into the fold, but only if the latter acknowledged him as The Tribal Chief.

During the final segment of the night, the intense history between all three men from last year's WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view was recapped. Despite Jey's attempts to convince his brother to "fall in line," the returning Uso twin just couldn't sell his soul to Reigns.
The Samoan family drama prompted Cesaro to capitalize on the opening and attack Roman Reigns. As Jey entered the ring to defend The Tribal Chief's honor, Jimmy reluctantly followed.
The performers involved in this scenario did an excellent job of portraying their own conflicts in the grander scheme of things. Cesaro eventually took down all three men to expose the cracks in Reigns' regime.
Regardless of whether or not Jimmy Uso falls in line, it would be interesting if he has to potentially fight his twin brother in the future to explore the inner turmoil that exists between them.
Jey Uso wants Roman Reigns and his brother to co-exist, but that can't happen as long as Jimmy wishes to dissociate the Uso clan from Reigns' command. The two brothers wouldn't wrestle each other out of hatred, but they may have to do so to change their different perspectives regarding Roman Reigns.
Now that would be a fine example of multi-layered storytelling in the long run.
