Roman Reigns made his big return this past Saturday night to interfere in a major SummerSlam match. Backstage details have now come to light about Jimmy and Jey Uso's possible involvement in the match.

Last night at WWE SummerSlam, Solo Sikoa faced Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in a Bloodline Rules contest. As expected, the match saw its fair share of interferences and interruptions. First, it was Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa who got involved, only to be chased away by Kevin Owens and Randy Orton.

Next, it was Jacob Fatu who interfered in the match and put Cody Rhodes through the announcer's table with a diving splash. In the process, Jacob seemingly injured himself and was out for the rest of the match. Then, Roman Reigns made his shocking return. He delivered a Superman Punch and followed it up with a huge Spear to Solo. This allowed The American Nightmare to capitalize on the moment and deliver a Cross Rhodes and pick up the win.

Following the match, there had been speculation online that Jimmy and Jey Uso were supposed to get involved in the match but an audible was called after Jacob Fatu got injured. Fightful Select has since confirmed that there was never any plan or audible to have either of The Usos to feature in this match.

Jey Uso drops a major hint about the reunion of the original Bloodline

Much like Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso has also been out for a long time. Now, with The Orginal Tribal Chief back, it's potentially only a matter of time before Jimmy Uso returns. This has got fans excited as they could witness the reunion of the original Bloodline but this time, the group would be babyfaces.

During a recent interview on The Ringer Wrestling Show, Jey Uso dropped the biggest hint about the group's reunion saying that he is excited for round two.

"The cool part is I'm so excited to see what happens. You know, I want to see how all these pieces come back together and see what kind of magic we can recreate for round two," Jey said. [From 11:02 to 11:15]

It remains to be seen if the WWE Universe will get to see the reunion of The Usos and the original Bloodline soon.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
