Jey Uso subtly teased alliance on WWE SmackDown but it wasn't with Roman Reigns

Jey Uso made a surprise appearance this week on WWE SmackDown to address his younger brother, Solo Sikoa. Being the new Tribal Chief has seemingly changed Sikoa, and Jey wanted to try to talk some sense into him.

This obviously didn't work, and after a war of words, Uso walked away, only to later run into Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns backstage as he was leaving. While Jey has shown reluctance to talk to his twin brother again, several fans noticed that the two brothers shared a smile before Reigns broke it off.

Uso is quite clearly still mad at Roman Reigns, but could he be ready to forgive his twin?

Jey Uso teased a reunion with his brother Jimmy ahead of WrestleMania 40

Jimmy and Jey Uso have worked together their whole career. Jey has recently found out how far he can push himself as a solo star, but it's clear that he will always want to fall back on his brother.

While many fans are pessimistic about a potential reunion, Uso already claimed it could happen ahead of their WrestleMania bout back in April while talking to ESPN.

"Whatever happens after this, I’m always going to love you. I would love to just [clap]… After the one, two, three, whether it be me or you, man, we could be The Usos again. That’s me, though. Can’t do it running around with this Bloodline, though."

Uso claimed that they could be brothers again but without The Bloodline. While Jey has forced his brother to choose in the past, it's unlikely that WWE will follow this route. Instead, the current Intercontinental Champion could be pulled back into the fray to protect his brother since it's clear that he still cares about him.
