WWE Raw Recap: The Usos Reunite Amidst Doubts Surrounding Sami Zayn

WWE Raw witnessed a significant turn in the long-running saga of The Bloodline as Jimmy and Jey Uso officially reunited, prompted by the looming threat of Solo Sikoa, the "new" Tribal Chief. This emotional reunion allowed the Usos to retaliate against Sikoa's faction, driving The Bloodline away in the opening segment.

The Usos and Their Complicated Family Dynamics

The show opened with The Bloodline launching an assault on the Usos. Amidst the chaos, the twins took a moment to discuss their relationship and the growth they experienced during their time apart. Jey expressed his intention to reconnect with Roman Reigns on SmackDown. However, before he could do so, The Bloodline attacked, prompting a swift response from the Usos.

Backstage, Sami Zayn confronted the Usos, particularly Jey, urging him not to return to the family that had previously treated him poorly. Jey countered that Zayn could never fully grasp the complexities of their family dynamics due to his outsider status, leaving Zayn visibly distressed. Despite Jimmy's attempt to mediate, he later caught Zayn speaking to Solo Sikoa in the parking lot, solidifying the Usos' belief that family bonds are paramount.

While the Usos' storyline was the focal point of Raw, the overall content of the show felt lacking, leading to a less than inspiring episode. The interaction between Zayn and Sikoa hints at further misunderstandings that may isolate Jey as he leans back toward his family. Overall, the storyline progression received a grade of C- due to its underwhelming execution throughout the evening.

Highlights from the Night

Aside from the Uso drama, several matches and confrontations took place on Raw:

• Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser: Sheamus secured a victory over Kaiser with a Brogue Kick, showcasing his enduring strength in the ring.

• Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed: In a backstage brawl, Reed blindsided Rollins. Earlier in the night, Rollins had been cutting a promo when Reed appeared on the Tron, challenging him to a fight. After a heated confrontation in the parking lot, Reed executed a Death Valley Driver on Rollins, leaving him incapacitated.

• The Miz and R-Truth: The Miz pleaded with R-Truth for help following a recent attack by The Wyatt Sicks. Although Truth initially appeared to agree, he quickly turned on Miz, delivering a punch and ominously stating, “You’re going to die,” leaving Miz to fend for himself.

• World Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contender Match: The War Raiders triumphed over the LWO and New Day. Chad Gable's unexpected interference led to Rey Mysterio being trapped in an ankle lock, paving the way for the War Raiders to secure their title shot.

• Dominik Mysterio vs. Damian Priest: In a surprising turn, Dominik defeated Priest with a roll-up following a distraction from Judgment Day. Although Priest had dominated the match, he retaliated post-match with a Razor's Edge and multiple chair shots, ending the show on a brutal note.

As Raw concluded, the developments with The Usos, Sami Zayn, and the overall tag team landscape set the stage for future storylines, but the episode left fans wanting more substantial content.
