Okay, let’s talk about this whole “Will Jimmy Uso return tonight?” thing. It’s been buzzing around, and like many of you, I spent a chunk of my afternoon mulling it over. Here’s kinda how I went about my usual wrestling-nerd routine today.
My Process Today
First off, I always try to rewind a bit. I sat and thought about the last time we saw Jimmy. Man, that beatdown from Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga was rough. They properly kicked him out of The Bloodline. Looked painful, and in storyline terms, that kind of exit usually means some time off TV to sell the injuries, you know?
So, my initial thought was, “Nah, gotta sell the injury, let it sink in.” It just makes sense for the story. You don’t get demolished like that and then just pop up the next week like nothing happened. That feels cheap.
Next step, I did my usual casual browse. Popped onto a couple of forums, the places where fans like us just shoot the breeze about predictions. Didn’t see any solid “insider info” or spoilers making the rounds, which is pretty normal. Lots of guesses, though. Half the folks think he’s due for revenge tonight, the other half think it’s way too soon. Standard stuff.
Thinking About the Story Angle
Then I started thinking purely about the narrative. Solo’s building his own version of The Bloodline now with the Tongans. They need to look strong, dominant. Having Jimmy return immediately might kinda undercut their new menace before it even gets going properly. It feels like they need a few weeks, maybe longer, to establish themselves as the big bads on Smackdown. Jimmy’s return needs to feel like a big deal, a real challenge to Solo’s authority.
Here’s a quick list of what else I considered:
- I checked the official show rundown from WWE. Sometimes they tease appearances. Nothing specific about Jimmy, just the matches they announced earlier. No hints there.
- I thought about how WWE usually handles returns like this. Big comebacks often happen on the bigger shows, like those Premium Live Events, or maybe a special episode. Tonight feels like a regular show. Doesn’t quite have that big return vibe, but you never know.
- What’s Paul Heyman doing? His reactions to Solo are gold. He seems terrified. He hasn’t really been mentioning Jimmy, seems more focused on just staying in Solo’s good graces (or trying to survive). That kinda suggests the focus is still on the new Bloodline, not on Jimmy’s immediate comeback.
So, after running through all that in my head, what’s the final verdict from my little investigation?
My Gut Feeling
Honestly, my gut feeling is leaning towards no return tonight for Jimmy Uso. It just feels a bit too quick after that beatdown angle. They need to let that story breathe, build up Solo and his crew, make the fans really want Jimmy back for revenge. Give it that dramatic tension.
But hey, it’s wrestling! The best part is being surprised. Maybe he runs in during a match involving Solo or Tama Tonga. Maybe there’s a cryptic video package. Anything can happen. That’s the fun of it. But based on my usual overthinking process today, I’m betting we wait a little longer to see Jimmy Uso again. Guess we’ll all find out together in a few hours!
