#2: Roman Reigns subtly threatened Jey Uso with a big rematch at WWE Hell in a Cell

Roman Reigns and Jey Uso's storyline has exceeded expectations in WWE, which meant it had to be extended past its one-off premise beyond Clash of Champions.

Families often fight, and even though Roman Reigns brutalized Jey Uso at the aforementioned pay-per-view, Reigns said he didn't harbour any resentment against his cousin. The Tribal Chief called Clash of Champions a bad night just because of what he did to Jey. Reigns only wanted Jey Uso to earn a big payday for his family, but things went wrong when the latter didn't address Roman Reigns as The Tribal Chief of the Anoa'i family.

Reigns offered his cousin a rematch but also warned him that there would be long-term consequences this time around. What fans have buzzed about the most on social media is how Reigns called their rematch 'the highest stakes that any match has ever had in WWE history'.

That statement alludes to several possibilities, and Sportskeeda's own Riju Dasgupta has penned an article as to what Reigns meant by that sentence.

That sentence alone has distracted people from the fact that Jey Uso defeated a top-tier star like AJ Styles after his confrontation with Roman Reigns on this week's WWE SmackDown.
