Hot Take: Time for WWE to Yeet 'Main Event' Jey Uso out of Championship Title Scene

Now might be the time for WWE to take the "main event" tag off Jey Uso and slot him back into something that makes a little more sense, like the fresh Bloodline saga.

It might sound dramatic, especially if fans have seen a clip of Uso's stunning entrances that engage the crowd more than anything has since perhaps the "Yes!" movement of Daniel Bryan at its peak.

Unfortunately, things sort of fall apart after the entrance with Jey—and that's the big issue.

Bryan might be an apt comparison. His detractors back in the day suggested he was nothing more than a catchphrase and that the crowd engagement during his entrances was a fluke, at least until fans started hijacking other segments to make their intentions known.

There doesn't figure to be any hijacking of WWE programming with Uso's "Yeet" or whatever else, though, in part because he's just not captivating audiences after his entrance.

On the microphone, Jey's not that compelling outside of the heartfelt Bloodline material. He's not bad, either, but he's not about to go spar with a CM Punk or Cody Rhodes and come out looking equal.

Things are even worse in the ring, where the main-event spotlight has thrown a light on a very limited moveset. This isn't all that shocking—Jey has mostly been one part of a tag-team for as long as most audiences would remember and it shows in the timing and repetitive moves.

The repetitive moves are the worst, too, because his matches feel like they fall into the typical tendencies of big exchanges before he goes superkick-happy and potentially wins.

Look at the long-anticipated WrestleMania match against his brother, Jimmy. By pretty much every metric, the match was a flop that had neither a good build nor good execution in the ring.

Those who suggested the fault rested more with Jimmy for that match would be hard-pressed to explain why Jey's matches haven't improved against other opponents, either. At Backlash France, his loss to Damian Priest in the title match featured more of the same pacing pitfalls and superkicks that some WWE fans are more than happy to point out are a problem in other promotions.

So now we shift to talks about overexposure. Sure, Jey could improve in the ring and on the mic while ascending to that top champion Superstar his entrances (and perhaps his merchandise sales) seem to suggest.

But things could quickly swing in the other direction, too. Overexposure is a really big problem in WWE, so it might not be long until fans think the act is stale and comes at the expense of other title-worthy challengers like Gunther and even NXT call-ups.

And on the one hand, Jey is very good proof that WWE shouldn't be terrified of splitting up tag teams. But it's also proof and perhaps a cautionary tale that earning audience engagement via entrances is an easy path to getting over with fans.

Maybe the real lesson is that the split of The Usos was a good idea in the sense crowds got a break from that overexposed act, which had maximized its potential and remained at the top for a long time.

Perhaps now is the right time to bring Jimmy and Jey back together in a way that is pleasing for fans, too. Based on recent expressions by Paul Heyman, it sure feels like we're heading in that direction anyway:

Jey reuniting with his brother to fend off Solo Sikoa and this new-age Bloodline (potentially aligning with a returning, face Roman Reigns down the line) that is likely backed by an "executive" named The Rock, is too good of a story to pass up.

No need to complicate this either. Jimmy or Jey comes to save the other after a Bloodline assault. The end. Something like Jey finally winning a title and Sikoa and Co. costing him it would just feel cheap, anyway. The family bonds displayed that made the Bloodline saga iconic will do.

This hypothetical reinsertion into the Bloodline saga doesn't have to be a demotion for Jey, either.

One of the low-key triumphs of this new Triple H era is the ability to actually get babyfaces over in a cool way with crowds. Jey isn't going to cool off or suffer if he's back in the Bloodline saga as opposed to solo matches for top titles. The man is, after all, only 38 years old, so there's plenty of time for him to bounce around. Ducking the overexposure as a singles star that could ruin his aura is just a smart chess move.

And hey, Jey's run, as of late, has been fun. Seeing him blossom has been fun, too. But the Bloodline story needs him badly, which could be a blessing in disguise so the simmering problems with his run don't start to create backlash that does damage to the progress made.
