Roman Reigns: I Would Never Kill My Cousin Jey Uso, But I’ll Put His Career On Hold

Roman Reigns doesn’t forget so easily. 

Jey Uso turned his back on the Bloodline in June 2023, and though his brother Jimmy was initially with him, Jimmy fell back in line, helping Reigns defeat Jey at SummerSlam 2023. 

The split has led to an upcoming showdown between Jimmy and Jey at WrestleMania 40. 

Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, Roman commented on the upcoming match between the brothers. 

“I’m rooting for Big Jim. He’s my only family. Jey made his choice. How do you walk away from the dream? How do you walk away from the promised land? It’s disrespectful. He’ll tell you, his life hasn’t been the same since. If you can’t play your role and fill the shoes you’ve been provided, we have to excommunicate you. Sink or swim. He’s doing okay, but it only takes [finger snaps], we send the word,” said Roman

When McAfee noted that was a pretty heavy statement, implying Roman would send a hit out on Jey, Roman clarified, “I would never kill my cousin, but I would put his career on hold if we want to. We got the juice. Who saw it first in him? Who was the first one and took a chance on Jey? I did. I put the equity in him. I’m the one that took from my account and deposited into his account. That’s what 2020 was all about. Building the Bloodline, but also putting equity into my family, the people that I love.”

Roman is set to compete at both nights of WrestleMania 40 as he teams with The Rock to face Seth Rollins & Cody Rhodes on night one. 

On night two, Roman will defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Rhodes.
