Jimmy Uso is set to make his long-awaited return to the WWE stage. After being pulled from last night’s SmackDown, WWE has announced that Jimmy will have his first promo since brother Jey Uso “quit” two weeks ago on next Friday’s SmackDown. This episode will serve as the go-home show for Payback, adding to the anticipation surrounding Jimmy’s appearance.
The Bloodline has been a dominant force in the WWE, with Roman Reigns as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion and Jey Uso by his side. However, recent events have left fans wondering about the future of this powerful faction. Jimmy’s promo is expected to shed some light on the happenings within The Bloodline and provide answers to the questions that have been lingering.
It’s worth noting that Jimmy will be alone during his appearance, as Jey Uso, Solo Sikoa, and Roman Reigns are not currently advertised for the show. This raises even more speculation about the stability of The Bloodline and what Jimmy’s role will be moving forward.
In addition to Jimmy’s promo, WWE has also announced an exciting tag team match for next week’s SmackDown. Austin Theory and Grayson Waller will team up to take on Santos Escobar and WWE United States Champion Rey Mysterio. This match will serve as a preview for the upcoming Payback event, where Mysterio will defend his title against Theory.
Waller, who is set to host Cody Rhodes on The Grayson Waller Effect at Payback, will have the opportunity to showcase his skills against Mysterio and Escobar. This week on SmackDown, Mysterio defeated Waller in a non-title match, but interference from Theory and Escobar played a significant role. Theory earned his title shot by defeating LA Knight in a #1 contender’s match on last week’s SmackDown, just one week after Mysterio won the title from him.
As we look ahead to next week’s SmackDown, here is the updated card:
- The go-home build for WWE Payback
- John Cena returns to WWE
- Austin Theory and Grayson Waller vs. Santos Escobar and WWE United States Champion Rey Mysterio
- Jimmy Uso makes his first appearance since brother Jey Uso “quit” a few weeks back
