The next week on SmackDown, The Usos tried to convince Roman that they should stick together but Roman rejected Jimmy’s proposal after embracing him and ordered Solo to attack him.
The following week, when it was finally time for Jey to make a decision, he sided with Roman for a few moments before hitting him with the superkick. The Usos laid Solo Sikoa as well and officially announced their departure from the Bloodline.
