Jey Uso is currently the Intercontinental Champion and part of Monday Night RAW, and the WWE Universe is thrilled with the YEET Master's first singles title reign. Many believe he truly deserved this moment. However, there is still some uncertainty regarding Jey's future in the ongoing Bloodline saga and whether he will return to the family drama.

For those unaware, a Bloodline Civil War match is expected to take place at Survivor Series WarGames, and some fans are speculating that Jey could join Roman Reigns in this battle.

Amid this speculation, fans have noticed that Jey's Intercontinental Championship belt features a blue color scheme, leading some to believe that it hints at his possible return to SmackDown, as blue is the signature color of Friday Night SmackDown. However, the blue color on the Intercontinental title doesn’t seem to indicate any brand affiliation.

Instead, it’s likely a tribute to the classic design of the Intercontinental Championship, as fans online have compared both versions and found similarities.

Additionally, Jey’s merchandise featured blue as a theme long before he became the Intercontinental Champion, so the color could simply reflect his branding rather than a hint of a move to SmackDown.

Ultimately, only time will reveal what WWE has planned for Jey Uso as the Intercontinental Champion and his role in the larger Bloodline storyline.


Is WWE not interested in Jey Uso's reunion with The Bloodline?

With Jey Uso being the Intercontinental Champion and showing no signs of a reunion with Roman Reigns for the OG Bloodline, the question arises whether WWE is interested in a Jey Uso reunion or not.

Recent news from WrestleVotes suggested that WWE might not be interested in reuniting Jey with Jimmy or The Bloodline due to the rising popularity of the 39-year-old star. It was revealed that WWE might be enjoying the singles run of the YEET Master, which could be the reason for him not reuniting with Jimmy or Bloodline yet. The source stated:

“I can’t see them [WWE] right away going back to The Usos as a team. I could see once Jimmy [Uso] was ready for TV to come and join his brother, aid his brother [Jey Uso] potentially, but does that mean they are a tag team once again, they are going for tag team gold? I wouldn't say right off the jump, no,”

Surely, it would be weird if the potential Bloodline Civil War in WarGames took place without the inclusion of the Intercontinental Champion. The Samoan star has always remained a vital part of the Bloodline saga and the entire family drama. His exclusion from the rivalry between Reigns and Solo would doubtlessly be a surprising move.
