- Yes, it could be a crowning Yeet-chievement for "Main Event" Jey Uso, as he seeks to become the first member of The Bloodline to win the annual King of the Ring tournament.
- Reigns tasked Uso with winning the tournament without any assistance from The Bloodline, which sort of defeats the purpose of being in The Bloodline.

Yes, it could be a crowning Yeet-chievement for "Main Event" Jey Uso, as he seeks to become the first member of The Bloodline to win the annual King of the Ring tournament. If Uso wins, he would earn a title shot against either World Heavyweight champion Roman Reigns or Undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes ... assuming they both are still holding their respective straps in August.
Reigns tasked Uso with winning the tournament without any assistance from The Bloodline, which sort of defeats the purpose of being in The Bloodline. Uso won a fatal four-way match to start the tournament -- a victory that ticked off many WWE fans who were expecting LA Knight to get his hand raised -- and then defeated Je'Von Evans for a spot against Oba Femi in the finals. Femi is equal parts the most intimidating and popular wrestler currently in the WWE.
