Jimmy Uso gave his brother Jey an answer for WrestleMania 40.
Uso was fired up backstage at Friday Night Smackdown that it startled forthcoming WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman. However, Jimmy made clear that Jey was the younger brother and always looked up to him. Just a year ago both were main-eventing WrestleMania 39 and now this year they’ll be facing one another. He accepts Jey’s challenge who laid it on the line against Jimmy on Monday’s Raw.
Considering that WrestleMania 40 is in Philadelphia, it’s ironic that Jimmy and Jey will be squaring off against one another in the “City Of Brotherly Love” as there hasn’t been any love-loss between the two twins.
Jimmy hasn’t cost Jey just one WWE title opportunity, but two. It was Jey Uso taking on Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship back at SummerSlam 2023 which is where Jimmy first backstabbed Jey. Then a few weeks back on WWE Raw Jey had his shot unseat the unprecedented GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Championship. Jey had GUNTHER down for the three count, but Jimmy rang the ring bell as a distraction.
The History Of “Brother vs. Brother” At WrestleMania 40
Once the fight does become official, Jimmy Uso vs. Jey Uso won’t be the first time brothers go against one another on the grandest stage of them all. 30 years ago, Bret Hart famously took on his younger brother Owen at WrestleMania 10 in Madison Square Garden. Owen Hart ended up getting the 1-2-3 for the surprise victory before Bret won the WWE Championship later in the evening against Yokozuna.
A more less-fondly remembered brother vs. brother bout was Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania 25, where a heel Matt Hardy got the pinfall victory in an Extreme Rules match.
