Roman Reigns returned to WWE TV back at SummerSlam last year and has dominated SmackDown ever since.
Reigns has joined forces with Paul Heyman and his cousin Jey Uso and together, the three have become the main stars of The Blue brand. Jimmy Uso has made his return to SmackDown in recent weeks and Reigns has looked to recruit him to his stable, but it doesn't seem to be going to plan.
WWE looks to be teasing an implosion in the near future, but who will cause Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, and The Usos to go their separate ways? The following list looks at just five potential ways that the stable could be dissolved.

#5. The Usos reunite and turn their back on Roman Reigns
Jey Uso and Roman Reigns have been a formidable team since the former Tag Team Champion was forced to acknowledge Reigns at Hell in a Cell last year. This alliance has been tested in recent weeks with the return of Jimmy Uso and it's put Jey in a tough spot between his cousin and his brother.
This week on SmackDown, Roman Reigns cost his cousins the chance to become Tag Team Champions and gave off the illusion that he was worried that they would win the match and take away his focus.
After the match, Jimmy Uso and Reigns once again disagreed on the treatment of the Mysterios. When Jimmy exited the ring, he expected his brother to follow him. Jey remained in the ring with Roman and made it clear that he was still loyal to his cousin, but for how much longer?
Jimmy Uso isn't loyal to Roman Reigns; he only steps in when his brother Jey needs help. But the question is, how long will it be before Jey turns on Roman as well? This week, Reigns couldn't even tell the difference between his cousins in a blatant show of disrespect, so Jey will become wise to it soon enough.
Since Reigns' stable is all about family and honoring their legacy, it's hard to imagine that the group will be able to continue with new faces if The Usos reunite and turn their back on the Universal Champion.
#4. Roman Reigns turns his back on The Usos and reunites with Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns were once part of one of the most dominant teams in WWE. The Shield has reunited several times in the past, but right now, both of them are heels and they could reunite, given the right opponent.
Reigns showed signs of frustration with The Usos this week on SmackDown. While it's now expected that Jimmy Uso will be the one to force Reigns' stable to implode, WWE could pull off a huge swerve.
Roman Reigns could decide to turn his back on his own family since The Usos have been a disappointment on WWE TV in recent months. Jimmy and Jey have been falling below the mark and are not maintaining the honor that Reigns is looking for.
It's a longshot for Seth Rollins to team with Roman Reigns, given The Trible Chief is the Universal Champion. However, the two men could team together once more to take care of The Usos if Reigns offered Rollins a shot at his Championship.
#3. Roman Reigns loses The Universal Championship
Roman Reigns is the face of SmackDown as he is the Universal Champion, which means that once he loses his title, he will be forced to step back a few paces.
Edge has yet to make his return to TV since his loss at WrestleMania and could well be the star that WWE are looking at to take away that Universal Championship.
If The Usos or Jimmy Uso, in particular, were the reason that Reigns lost his Championship, then it's hard to imagine Jey would stand by and allow his brother to take the blame alone.
When Roman Reigns attacked Jimmy Uso at Hell in a Cell, Jey Uso quit the match to save his brother, this showing that their bond is much stronger than the one between Reigns and Jey.
If someone else was the Universal Champion and the face of SmackDown, then it's likely that The Head of the Table would no longer be seen as the powerful star that he is at present and wouldn't need a stable anymore.
#2. The Rock is seen as the real Head of the Table over Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns has been pushing the fact that he is "The Head of the Table" in his family for almost a year.
While Jey Uso looked to challenge Reigns and the fact that he's the breadwinner in the family, he could not defeat his cousin and instead became his right-hand man.
Jimmy Uso is currently looking to put a spanner in the works since his return, but it's clear that there is only one member of the family who can put Roman in his place.
If this storyline continues until WrestleMania 38 next year and The Rock can face off against Roman Reigns, he could finally be seen as the real "Head of the Table".
It's hard to imagine that The Rock would return and not put his cousin over. But if there was a bigger story in play and it was a scenario similar to his WrestleMania matches with John Cena, then WWE could pull off such a storyline.
#1. Paul Heyman leaves Roman Reigns to realign himself with Brock Lesnar
Roman Reigns returned at SummerSlam last year and has dominated SmackDown ever since, but one must remember that Reigns hasn't been doing this alone.
Paul Heyman has been the man behind the curtain pulling all the strings and without his Special Counsel, one has to wonder where Roman Reigns would be?
There has been talk recently of Brock Lesnar making his return to WWE TV for the first time in more than a year and Paul Heyman could then return to Lesnar's side as his advocate.
Brock Lesnar needs Paul Heyman to speak for him. Roman Reigns, on the other hand, has shown a lot of improvement on the mic and could go it alone. That being said, if Paul Heyman leaves, then where would Reigns' stable be and would he be able to keep The Usos in line all by himself?
Paul Heyman was the man who first got Reigns over as a heel. Without the Special Counsel by his side, Reigns might struggle to keep things together on SmackDown.
