12-time champion secretly working with Seth Rollins while being one of WWE's top babyfaces? Exploring the possibility
This week on RAW, Seth Rollins made a bold statement, insinuating that he and his faction are the future of the pro wrestling industry. Now, not everyone agrees with him, as was seen with Sami Zayn, but there will surely be those who do. This could include a 12-time champion, who might be secretly working with Rollins despite being one of WWE's top babyfaces.
Jey Uso is a 10-time tag team champion, a one-time Intercontinental Champion, and the reigning World Heavyweight Champion. The 39-year-old is the quintessential babyface, and on paper, the least likely to ally with Seth Rollins. After all, he is a member of the OG Bloodline and a close friend of Sami Zayn. However, the reason he may be working with The Visionary is simply preservation.
Jey recently became World Heavyweight Champion, but as Logan Paul reminded him, history has proven that he usually crashes and burns as soon as he reaches the top. Furthermore, his "brother from another mother," Sami Zayn, desperately wants to win a world title.
With that in mind, in an attempt to make sure he keeps the title for a long time and away from Sami, he could've allied with Rollins. He could've asked The Visionary to present The Underdog from The Underground with a chance to move to SmackDown.
In return, Uso could give Rollins a title shot sometime in the future, perhaps at WrestleMania 42. However, at the end of the day, this is just conjecture.
Jey Uso did not give Sami Zayn any advice regarding Seth Rollins' proposition
Jey Uso has interacted with Sami Zayn twice since WrestleMania 41. The first time was on RAW after The Show of Shows, when Zayn congratulated him on his victory. The second time was backstage this week, when Uso spoke to the Canadian about the latter's difficult decision.
Both occasions, at face value, seem rather wholesome. However, one cannot help but note Jey Uso's demeanor on both occasions. On RAW last week, he did not seem too ecstatic when Sami Zayn's music hit.
Fast forward to this week, and Uso did show some concern for his friend, who at the time was still considering Seth Rollins' proposition. However, Jey looked rather serious and stoic as Zayn walked away.
This could be a stretch, but it feels like there is a hint of animosity toward Zayn from Uso. That being said, only WWE, Jey, and Sami know if there is any truth to this speculation.
