Roman Reigns' return as a babyface has opened the door for an OG Bloodline reunion. WCW veteran Konnan recently advised Jey Uso not to jump ship to AEW as he thinks WWE has big things in store for him.
The Yeet Master is currently embroiled in the ongoing Intercontinental Title No. 1 Contender’s Tournament. He will face Braun Strowman, Ilja Dragunov, and Pete Dunne in a Fatal-Four-Way match next week on RAW to determine the new #1 contender for Bron Breakker's title.
Despite Jey Uso being the fan-favorite to win the tournament, his booking continues to be a topic of discussion, especially for his father, Rikishi. As such, The Samoan Stinker recently slammed WWE for underutilizing his son. He even told Jey to take time off the television and said the former Bloodline member could go to AEW if he wanted to "write his own ticket."

Speaking on the Keepin' It 100 podcast, Konnan agreed with Rikishi's comments about WWE dropping the ball with Jey Uso. However, the WCW veteran is confident Main Event Jey will be brought back into the fold once Roman Reigns returns to SmackDown:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
"It's very perplexing to me that as over as [Jey Uso] is, they have not found anything to do with him worth [sic] in the last few months. Now, I think once Roman [Reigns] comes back, he's going to be put back into the mix, and he's going to be blowing up again. So maybe that's what they're waiting for," Konnan said. (From 05:26 to 05:46)
Konnan warned Jey Uso against potentially joining All Elite Wrestling as he thinks he would get lost in the shuffle like 95% of the talent there:
"But I don't think going to AEW is the answer, because, yeah, he may get more money, but he'll probably be not used right like 95% of the people there. Stay there, Roman's just got back, you know, they're going to put the Samoan thing together, probably, Jey and Jimmy with Roman again," he added. (From 06:36 to 06:55)

What happened to Roman Reigns?
Roman Reigns hasn't been seen on TV since being taken out by Jacob Fatu and The Bloodline on the August 16 episode of SmackDown. The Original Tribal Chief was put through the announce table by Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu. The angle was used as a way to write him off the television.
Reigns was previously advertised for the September 13 edition of SmackDown, which will mark the show's return to USA Network. However, that is no longer the case.
With Solo Sikoa set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in a Steel Cage Match next week, it will be interesting to see if Roman Reigns will return to help The American Nightmare retain his title again.
