In a recent episode of the Busted Open podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray discussed the potential next challenger to Roman Reigns if Cody Rhodes fails to dethrone the current Universal Champion at WrestleMania XL. Bully Ray expressed his belief that Jey Uso, a 10-time Tag Team Champion, would be the likely contender to face Reigns in the event of Rhodes’ defeat.
The anticipation for WrestleMania XL has been building as Cody Rhodes earned his opportunity to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship by winning the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match. The upcoming showdown between Rhodes and Reigns is scheduled to headline Night Two of this year’s WrestleMania. However, should Rhodes come up short in his quest to unseat The Tribal Chief, he will be barred from receiving another title shot against Reigns.

Moreover, as the wrestling world eagerly awaits the outcome of the Rhodes versus Reigns clash, speculation mounts about the potential future storyline between Jey Uso and Roman Reigns. Bully Ray highlighted the deep-rooted narrative between Jey and Reigns, hinting at a compelling rivalry that could unfold if circumstances lead to Jey challenging his cousin for the Universal Championship.
In another intriguing twist, Jey Uso is slated to face his brother, Jimmy Uso, for the first time at WrestleMania XL. The familial conflict adds another layer of complexity to the event, with veteran wrestler Matt Morgan suggesting that their father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, should make a return to play a pivotal role in the brothers’ matchup at the grand event.
The drama surrounding the Uso family intensifies as recent events have seen Jimmy interfering in matches, including a confrontation with Seth Rollins on RAW. As tensions escalate between the Uso brothers, fans are left to speculate on the outcome of the impending sibling rivalry at WrestleMania XL. The unfolding narrative promises an emotionally charged and action-packed event that will charm wrestling enthusiasts worldwide.
