Jey Uso has been showing a more serious side in recent weeks. The former world champion appears to be drifting away from his brother Jimmy in pursuit of reclaiming his ‘Main Event’ status. At the same time, fans have noted him acting more like The Head of The Table as Jey tries to prove he can stand on his own among other main eventers.
The 40-year-old spoke about his complicated relationship with his cousin, Roman Reigns, during the latest Raw recap. Fresh off his confrontation with CM Punk, Jey Uso claimed that Roman Reigns sees him as an equal now.
“He see me now, Uce, we equals now, he did teach me the game, man. I was a student to him, I sat under the learning tree all of COVID. I was there. Like front row, man. I had my ticket, just learning the game, man, learning from Big Uce, learning from The Wiseman.”
Despite his ambitions, Jey Uso does not seem to be challenging the Big Dog’s status in their family. He noted that Roman remains the one and only Tribal Chief for him.
“Me and Roman got a love-hate relationship, like y’all can tell, man, but respect between us is there now. So, he’s still big uce, he’s still my Tribal Chief, man. There’ll never be another Tribal Chief to Jey Uso but Roman Reigns.”
Jey Uso will get the chance to prove himself when he faces CM Punk for the vacant World Heavyweight Title at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1.
