Ex-Bloodline Members Team Up For The First Time Since 2023, Score Big Win On WWE Raw

The Judgment Day's JD McDonagh and Finn Balor didn't defend their World Tag Team Championship in the main event of "WWE Raw" last night, which was lucky for them because they would have been dethroned. The Irish duo were beaten by the team of Jey Uso and Sami Zayn, brought together again after Sami Zayn saved Jey Uso from a backstage beating. The match was pretty even until the end when Sani Zayn nailed the Helluva Kick on JD McDonagh before diving over the ropes onto the rest of Judgment Day. One Uso Splash on JD McDonagh later, and Sami Zayn and Jey Uso had sealed a big win over the tag champs.

Sami Zayn and Jey Uso were one of the more beloved WWE pairings of 2022 and 2023. Sami Zayn had become the "Honorary Uce" due to his loyalty to The Bloodline, even winning over the sceptical Jey Uso in the 2022 men's WarGames match. When The Bloodline eventually turned on Sami Zayn, Jey Uso was conflicted about it for weeks. While they did end up as enemies, most notably in the main event of WrestleMania 39, they would eventually rekindle their friendship after Jey Uso himself left The Bloodline and became a singles superstar on "Raw," even teaming up again in the 2023 men's WarGames match against The Judgment Day.

Sami Zayn and Jey Uso have largely been kept separate in 2024; as a result, the timing of this team-up is interesting. WWE is less than two weeks away from SummerSlam, where one-time Bloodline leader Roman Reigns is widely expected to return. WWE also appears to be setting up a conflict between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, whose new Bloodline consists of Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and Jacob Fatu. With many fans speculating that the original Bloodline could reunite to take on Solo Sikoa's group, Sami Zayn and Jey Uso teaming up again could be a step in that direction. Of course, before that can happen,  Sami Zayn still has to deal with Bron Breakker, who Speared Sami Zayn after the main event ahead of their Intercontinental title match at SummerSlam.
