Original plans for Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn match ending at WWE Elimination Chamber 2023
The Bloodline’s unity shattered at Royal Rumble last month when Sami Zayn had enough and attacked Roman Reigns with a steel chair. But more importantly, Jey Uso refused to join his brothers in beating up Zayn and walked out on them.
There are clear tensions between Jey Uso and The Bloodline to the point that Paul Heyman has asked The Usos not to be in Montreal for the Elimination Chamber. But could this all be part of a bigger plan?
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the original plans were for Jey Uso to turn on Sami at Elimination Chamber, costing him his match. This would lead to the rumored tag team match between The Usos and Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 39:
”The original plan was for Zayn to lose, Jey Uso to turn on him and the Usos vs. Zayn & Owens at WrestleMania back many months.”
Without a doubt, WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 is absolutely a must-watch show for fans. High action, amazing storytelling, and hopefully some surprises could be in store tonight!
