Jey Uso still hasn't chosen his side in The Bloodline's civil war.

Last night's SmackDown went off the air with Jey yet to choose whether he's siding with Jimmy Uso or Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa. Jey challenged for the United States title in the main event of the episode, but an inadvertent superkick from Jimmy led to him losing the match.
Paul Heyman got Jey the US title shot as part of his plan to lure Jey to Reigns & Sikoa's side. Heyman also tried to manipulate Jey by telling him that, when the time is right, Reigns wants Jey to be the next Tribal Chief. Heyman said Jimmy has always resented Jey because of that.
Jey had his US title match against Austin Theory won, but the referee couldn't make the count after a ref bump. Pretty Deadly then ran into the ring to help Theory. After Jimmy got involved and fought Pretty Deadly off, Sikoa attacked Jimmy and went to give him a Samoan Spike. Jey stopped Sikoa from hitting the spike. Jimmy then lined up Sikoa for a superkick, but Sikoa moved out of the way and Jimmy accidentally hit Jey.
Theory capitalized and covered Jey to retain the US title. Though Jimmy tried to convince Jey that he didn't mean to superkick him, Jey pushed Jimmy and walked away.
Jey also walked past Heyman and Sikoa on his way to the back.
The situation will continue to develop when Reigns makes his return to SmackDown next Friday.
