Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Roman Reigns and Jey Uso shared a special, character-breaking moment after the July 21st episode of Monday Night Raw went off the air. The two cousins, who have a long and violent on-screen history, came together for a lighthearted celebration with the live crowd in a non-televised segment. The moment quickly went viral on social media. It showed a side of "The Tribal Chief" that fans rarely get to see. OTC just hit the YEET! 🙌 — WWE (@WWE) July 22, 2025 "The Tribal Chief" Starts "Yeeting" After the broadcast ended, Jey Uso was in the ring doing his signature "YEET!" celebration with the fans in attendance. He then noticed Roman Reigns looking on from the corner and encouraged his cousin to join him. Although Reigns looked hesitant at first, he eventually smiled and climbed to the middle rope. He then joined Jey in the "YEET!" chant, drawing a massive ovation from the surprised and delighted crowd. After the celebration, the two shared a hug before leaving the ring.

WWE/Getty Images A Long And Complicated History The off-air moment was especially significant for fans who have followed the complex, multi-year story between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso. Their on-screen relationship has been the central pillar of the entire Bloodline saga, seeing them go from bitter rivals in a classic "I Quit" Hell in a Cell match to Jey reluctantly serving as Roman's "Right Hand Man." More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation Their story eventually led to Jey being the first to stand up to Roman, sparking the Bloodline Civil War in 2023. This culminated in a deeply personal "Tribal Combat" match at SummerSlam that year. Their history is filled with emotional and physical turmoil, which is why seeing them share a genuinely happy moment, even in a non-canon setting, was so special for the live audience. A Tale Of Two Paths The post-show segment was a fun break from their current, very different on-screen trajectories. Since breaking away from The Bloodline, "Main Event" Jey Uso has become one of the most popular babyfaces on the Raw roster, with his "YEET!" catchphrase becoming a phenomenon. Roman Reigns, meanwhile, made his own shocking return at Night of Champions in June after a multi-month hiatus. He has re-established himself as the dominant, serious "Tribal Chief" and is currently locked in a feud with John Cena, heading towards a blockbuster main event at SummerSlam. While their on-screen paths may not be aligned, the dark segment was a reminder of the real-life family bond that has made their storyline so compelling.
