Jey Uso ’s vocal positivity and hyping of Sami ’s talent is visibly not landing with his friend , no matter how well - intentioned his action may be . It does n’t find catastrophic , but something is n’t sitting right between the two at present . Main Event Jey Uso ’s presence was sorely missed at SummerSlam . There ’s no need for cause or alarm , his ties to The Bloodline guarantee him top charge in the futureand his reaction from the lively audience as deafening as ever . However , it ’s voiceless to see where this storyline will bring the two talents , at the moment .
