Roman Reigns seems to have his next challenger in his cousin Jey Uso.
While it has not been made official, rumors have indicated that Jey Uso will take on The Tribal Chief for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam. He hinted at facing Reigns on SmackDown last week as he picked up the Universal Championship while glaring at the champion.
The Bloodline has fallen apart as The Usos have split from Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa.

Jey Uso, on the other hand, would be left reeling from the heartbreak of losing his brother's trust. Roman Reigns would solidify his stranglehold on SmackDown, further cementing his position as the dominant force in the company
