Roman Reigns Names The Funniest Bloodline Family Member

The Bloodline may be one of the most dominant factions in WWE history, but behind the scenes, there’s no shortage of laughs. According to Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso is the funniest member of the group – by far.

In a recent interview with CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri ahead of the release of WWE 2K25, the “Tribal Chief” opened up about The Bloodline’s real-life chemistry – and why Jimmy stands out as the natural entertainer.

“I would say, and I think we all agree, Big Jim is by far the funniest of all of us,” Reigns said.

He explained that his brother always had a magnetic personality and shined in social situations.

“Way back in the day, we’d be in a bar or something—me and Jey keeping to ourselves—and then like, ‘Where’s your brother at?’ Look around and you see Jim over there making best friends.”

Reigns praised Jimmy for his charisma, positive energy, and ability to make connections with ease.

“Nobody makes best friends like Jim, but that’s because he’s funny, he’s personable, he’s got great energy, he’s super positive, and he’s always having a good time,” he explained. “Jimmy is by far our best greatest entertainer and funny guy.”

The acknowledgment from Reigns only solidifies what many WWE fans already knew—Jimmy Uso’s infectious energy isn’t just an on-screen persona, but a core part of who he is.

With WWE 2K25 on the horizon, fans will soon get to experience The Bloodline’s dominance (and maybe some of Jimmy’s humor) in the virtual ring.

Vanessa Hudgens YEETs With WWE Stars After SmackDown

Vanessa Hudgens brought a touch of A-Lister glamor to WWE SmackDown this week, with a fun moment in Phoenix, Arizona.

Hudgens, known for her breakout role in High School Musial, attended the event at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. After the show, Cody Rhodes invited Hudgens into the ring, setting the stage for a crowd-pleasing “yeet” celebration. Hudgens performed the popular gesture alongside Rhodes, The Usos, and Sami Zayn.

This isn’t Hudgens’ first interaction with WWE. In November, she acknowledged Roman Reigns during an episode of Raw and met WWE Superstar Bianca Belair backstage. Last month, Hudgens admitted that Rhea Ripley is her ‘Girl Crush’ and that she could “just watch her forever.”

Hudgens’ role at this week’s SmackDown wasn’t confined to what happened after the show. During SmackDown Hudgens also shared her love for Chelsea Green as she placed her hand to her heart in recognition of the longest-reigning WWE Women’s United States Champion.

Hudgens is one of several celebrities who have shared their love for WWE. With WrestleMania 41 drawing closer, celebs are lining up to have a role on the April 2025 show, according to Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque.

Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from WWE as the company continues to prove a hotbed for celebrity involvement in wrestling.

The Usos Reunite In First Traditional Tag Match Since July 2023

The Usos returned to tag-team action this week, marking their first traditional tag-team match in over 17 months. At a WWE live event in Jacksonville on December 26, the brothers reunited but fell short against The Bloodline‘s Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.

This long-awaited reunion was a treat for fans of the longest-reigning WWE Tag Team Champions. Their last traditional tag-team match took place at WWE Money in the Bank in July 2023, where they secured a victory over Sikoa and Roman Reigns. That match also marked Reigns’ first time being pinned in WWE in close to four years.

Although this marks the duo’s first traditional tag match in over a year, Jimmy and Jey have been working together recently. At WWE Crown Jewel, the brothers joined forces with Reigns to face Sikoa, Fatu, and Tama Tonga. Additionally, they were part of the victorious team at Survivor Series: WarGames, where they triumphed inside the titular structure.

Jey Uso Wants The Usos to Wrestle MCMG & Lucha Bros in WWE

With the brothers seemingly back on the same page—capped off by a post-match “Yeet”—fans are speculating about the possibility of a full-fledged reunion on television. Stay tuned to SEScoops for updates as Jimmy and Jey Uso continue to make waves in WWE.

Injury Updates: Tonga Loa Undergoes Surgery, Bronson Reed and Jimmy Uso Out Indefinitely

WWE has announced that three competitors from the recent Survivor Series WarGames match have sustained significant injuries.

Tonga Loa suffered a torn biceps during the event and has undergone successful surgery. He is expected to be sidelined indefinitely.

Bronson Reed incurred a broken foot, reportedly from executing a splash off the top of the cage. Surgery is planned, and he will also be out of action indefinitely.

Jimmy Uso sustained a broken toe during the match. His injury was confirmed during the post-event press conference, and he is currently sidelined with no specified return date.

These injuries were highlighted in a segment on WWE SmackDown, which included x-rays and images of the affected areas.

Jimmy Uso Suffers Minor Injury During WWE Survivor Series 2024

Jimmy Uso suffered a minor injury while competing in the WarGames main event during tonight’s WWE Survivor Series 2024.

The former tag champion was involved in one of two big dive spots of the bout. He went to the top of the cage to deliver a Uso Splash to Jacob Fatu through the table, taking him out of the fight.

The OG Bloodline and CM Punk would go on to pick up the victory in the match after everyone delivered their finishers to Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns got the pin.

Jimmy Uso Injury Revealed

All the winning team members except Reigns took part in the post-show press conference. As they were heading out, Sami commented that ‘Jimmy’s hurt, not that bad.’

Jey Uso then went on to reveal that the injury was the result of the big dive spot, saying ‘Yeah my brother broke his toe, on his big splash tonight.’

Bronson Reed was the other star who attempted the dive off the cage during the show. He tried to deliver a Tsunami to Roman Reigns but CM Punk pulled the Tribal Chief out of harm’s way at the last minute.

Unfortunately for Reed, he didn’t come out of the spot unscathed either. You can check out an update on his health following the show here.

Jimmy Uso Warns Things Will Get Heated If Sami Zayn Appears On SmackDown

Jimmy Uso is not convinced that Sami Zayn is ‘family’ and has warned his brother Jey Uso about Zayn’s involvement in The Bloodline business.

During the latest edition of WWE Raw, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Sami Zayn had a fiery conversation and the segment ended with Jey inviting Sami to the upcoming edition of WWE SmackDown to address the issues with Roman Reigns.

In a Raw Exclusive, Jey was asked to comment on the tense situation, and he said that he was hopeful that Zayn would accept the invitation. However, he was interrupted by his brother Jimmy who said that things will get heated if Zayn showed up on Friday night. Jimmy Uso said:

“I hope Sami Zayn just stays where he needs to stay at, Uce. He don’t need to show up or nothing. He ain’t Uce, he’s not family. Listen, you think tonight was heated? If he shows up to SmackDown, Uce, it’s gonna get real heated, and I don’t want to be like, ‘I told you so.'”

At last Saturday’s WWE Crown Jewel, The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga & Jacob Fatu) defeated the team of Roman Reigns & The Usos. Solo Sikoa got the win for his team after pinning the OTC. This marked Reigns’ second pinfall in 16 months and it came after a series of Samoan Spikes from the new Tribal Chief.

Following the match, Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Jacob Fatu, and Tonga Loa started assaulting Reigns and The Usos. However, it was Sami Zayn who ran down to the ring to the aid of The OG Bloodline. Though Sami teased joining forces with Solo, he attacked Solo and helped Reigns and The Usos to fight The Bloodline. But things became confusing as Sami attempted to hit a Helluva Kick on Solo but accidentally hit Reigns, while Sikoa managed to escape.

Jey Uso Rejects Jimmy’s Attempt to Reunite On (10/14) WWE Raw

Jimmy Uso may have reunited with Roman Reigns at WWE Bad Blood, but winning over his brother Jey is proving to be far more difficult for ‘Big Jim.’ During the October 14, episode of WWE Raw, the Intercontinental Champion saved the New Day from a beatdown by Bron Breakker, but returned to his locker room only to find Jimmy waiting for him. Jimmy tried to start a conversation, but Jey wasn’t interested. Without a word, Jey turned and walked off, clearly not ready to reconcile.

Later in the night, Jimmy made another attempt to talk to Jey, but this time Jey was visibly frustrated. He angrily told Jimmy to get out of his face, making it clear that their tension, which has been brewing since Jey’s departure from The Bloodline, isn’t likely to ease anytime soon.

It was Jimmy who cost Jey the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam 2023 in a match that also saw Roman Reigns’ status as Tribal Chief on the line. Similarly, Jimmy would cost Jey in other title matches, culminating in their showdown at WrestleMania 40 that Jey would win.

Jimmy tried to get Roman Reigns to bring in Jey on the latest SmackDown, only to get a “No Yeet!” from the Original Tribal Chief. While having the Intercontinental Champion on board would certainly be huge for Reigns and Jimmy in their war with Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline, Jey Uso wants no part of their family civil war.

Rikishi Asks For Prayers For Jimmy Uso

Rikishi remains very active on social media and on Wednesday, the WWE Hall of Famer posted a message that has fans hoping the best for Jimmy Uso.

One of the legends of the Samoan dynasty posted on X asking people to keep Jimmy in their prayers and in turn asked God to give him strength during this time. Included in the post was a video of Jimmy and a voiceover reciting a prayer.

“Dear GOD pray for strength and health to continue #JimmyUso #WWE #Bloodline #Anoai #Fatu. Stay prayed for my boy #JonathanFatu.”

There currently is no further details on the status of Jimmy Uso as he was written off WWE television months ago when Solo Sikoa and the new Bloodline attacked him, effectively kicking him out of the group.

It would be unfair to assume that Rikishi’s post is storyline based, but Jimmy Uso’s past could cause pause for a lot of fans. Back in July of 2019, Uso was charged with a DUI before a jury found him not guilty. Two years to the month after that, Uso was arrested for a misdemeanor DUI after allegedly failing a sobriety test.

Back in a 2023 interview with Ariel Helwani, Jimmy mentioned how he faced the noise with that arrest and continued to remain professional in the WWE work enviroment.

“Everybody has their issues outside of work. Everybody is human and makes mistakes as they go through it. As long as you face the noise, that’s something we always did.”

In August, Jey Uso talked about Jimmy’s potential return and told fans to get excited for “his greatness.”

We at SEScoops would like to extend our best wishes to the Fatu family at this time.

Jey Uso on Jimmy Uso’s Upcoming Return: “Wait Until You See His Greatness”

‘Main Event’ Jey Uso has assured the fans that they are going to love it when his twin brother, Jimmy Uso returns.

Jey told Sports Illustrated that fans have only seen a few glimpses of Jimmy’s ability. He then labeled his brother the ‘funniest guy’ he knows and said that he couldn’t be hated for long. Jey teased Jimmy’s impending return and how he will show his greatness. He said:

“And people are going to love Jimmy. He’s the funniest guy I know, so much funnier than me. You’ve seen glimpses of what he can do on his own. Wait until you see his greatness. He’s up next.”

Jey also believes that the self-proclaimed ‘Tribal Chief’ Solo Sikoa, who is their younger brother deserves a beating. He said:

“Solo needs his ass whupped. There’s no doubt about that.”

The Usos are one of the greatest tag teams of all time. They were part of The Bloodline and the duo is eight-time Tag Team Champions in WWE. However, the brother tag team split last year due to their rivalry. This led to them settling the score inside the ring at WrestleMania XL. 

While Jey Uso has been striving in singles competition, Jimmy was attacked by Solo Sikoa and ousted from The Bloodline. Roman Reigns recently returned to make it clear that he is ‘The Original Tribal Chief.’ There has been speculation that there will be a Bloodline Civil War in the future and The Usos are likely to stand by Roman Reigns.

Jey Uso Knows WrestleMania 40 Match With Jimmy Uso Let People Down

Jey Uso knows that his WrestleMania 40 match with brother Jimmy Uso didn’t live up to the expectations and he believes that time constraints were the reason for it.

The Raw star recently had an interview with DailyMail where he opened up about things such as splitting up with his twin brother, choosing his ring gear, and more.

The former tag champion was then asked for his thoughts on how the match between the two brothers played out. Jey explained that getting a singles WrestleMania match against his brother was still surreal but he did feel like the bout failed to live up to the expectations:

“To be honest, it was still a dream match, just me and my brother. I kind of felt I kind of let the people down, though. It was all due to timing issues, so our match was fairly quick. Sometimes you’ve just got to roll with it. It is what it is. “

Uso said that the positive side of it is that they were able to check that box off. The former Bloodline member claimed that he isn’t mad at the other matches and he is just glad that he and his brother got a WrestleMania moment.

There Might Be Another Time For It: Jey Uso

Prior to the bout, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi had talked about potentially getting involved in the fight between his sons in some capacity.

When asked about it, Jey Uso said that he always wanted his dad to be involved in some way whether it be in the match itself or the storyline leading up to it:

“Hell yeah, I always wanted my dad involved, whether it be a referee… I just don’t think my dad could have kept up, just getting up and down, because referees, they’re doing like, push up burpees the whole match too, they’re getting a great workout. Maybe like a go home promo, just some kind of cool promo segment. There might be another time for it.”

Jey also talked about his increased popularity since leaving the Bloodline and his unique entrance that has been garnering attention from not only fans but the WWE officials as well. You can check out the future plans for his entrance here.

Daily Drop (4/25): Tony Khan Gets KO’ed, Another Top WWE Star Injured

Welcome to the Daily Drop for Wednesday, April 24, 2024. AEW Dynamite went down last night, complete with tons of Dynasty fallout.

Before we get started, there’s another big injury to address. While his injury is undisclosed, Jimmy Uso is out of action. We’re hoping for his quick return, but he was not included in the 2024 WWE Draft pool for a reason.

Now, let’s get into today’s edition!

WWE:

Janel Grant Responds: On Wednesday, Grant’s attorneys filed a motion to strike against what they described as “inflammatory lies” in Vince McMahon’s memorandum. According to Grant’s motion, the statements were used “as a platform to launch vicious falsehoods attacking Janel’s moral character in an attempt to harass and intimidate her into submission.”

2024 WWE Draft: The company dropped their complete list of Superstars in each night’s Draft Pool. They also released the rules for this year’s draft. Needless to say, the WWE rosters will look very different in about a week.

WrestleMania London: The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, expressed interest in bringing WrestleMania to his city. Khan mentioned his hope to host WWE’s premier event in a press release during his campaign for the upcoming mayoral election on May 2.

AEW:

Tony Khan KO’ed: On Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, The Elite attacked Tony Khan during Jack Perry’s return, and the incident also marked Shad Khan’s first appearance on-screen. As The Elite moved back to the stage, referees, wrestlers, and medical staff rushed to assist Tony Khan. During this moment, Tony’s father, Shad Khan, entered the ring. This served as Shad Khan’s debut on AEW television for an angle.

After The Attack: Jack Perry was featured in a video after he attacked Tony Khan on AEW Dynamite. He said that TK got what was coming to him. It certainly looks like AEW is turning The Elite into a new nWo type faction. We will have to see how they proceed with this story.

NFL Playing Kayfabe: After Tony Khan’s attack on AEW Dynamite this week, the NFL listed his participation in the 2024 NFL Draft as “questionable.”

Unified Trios Titles: During Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite, it was announced that Bullet Club Gold members Jay White, Austin Gunn, and Colten Gunn will defend their Unified Trios titles this Saturday against Top Flight & Action Andretti. Bullet Club Gold previously combined the AEW World Trios and ROH World Six-Man Tag Team titles into a single championship at Sunday’s Dynasty pay-per-view, securing a win over The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn.

AEW Audio Issues: During Wednesday’s show at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida, there were persistent audio issues affecting both commentary and live segments. Before the show’s final segment with The Elite, Tony Khan addressed these issues on X.

“Thank you all watching #AEWDynamite now! We’re having an exciting show, live worldwide now! Our partner TBS is having some audio issues on tonight’s show, thankfully we understand our other worldwide partners aren’t affected, but TBS is working to fix the issue immediately!”

Upcoming PPV’s and PLE’s:

Here are the upcoming major wrestling events

  • Saturday, May 4: WWE Backlash France (PLE)
  • Sunday, May 26: NXT Battleground (PLE)
  • Sunday, May 26: AEW Double or Nothing (PPV)

Jimmy Uso Dealing With Injury While Off WWE TV

After Jimmy Uso lost to his brother at WrestleMania 40, he was booted from the Bloodline in dramatic fashion. According to Fightful Select, he’s dealing with an undisclosed injury. He joins a growing list of WWE Superstars who are out, including Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, CM Punk and Cruz Del Toro.

Uso was kicked out of the Bloodline stable during the SmackDown after WrestleMania 40. Tama Tonga jumped him, and now the faction is going in a brand-new direction. It is unclear how long Jimmy Uso will be out of action, but we are wishing him a speedy recovery.

Jimmy Uso sustained a knee injury during a ladder match at WrestleMania 36, which led to him being off television for nearly a year, just as the Bloodline storyline began. During his absence, his brother took on the role of “Main Event” Jey Uso, Roman Reigns’ right-hand man, and significantly advanced his career in the process.

Jey Uso recently stated that he felt as though his Mania match against Jey was a let-down. Perhaps Jimmy’s injury could take some of the blame for this.

Other WWE Injuries

Jimmy Uso is not the only notable injury in WWE right now. Rhea Ripley was taken out of action after WrestleMania 40. She suffered a sprained AC joint during that segment and had to vacate the Women’s World Title.

Seth Rollins is also taking time off from WWE after WrestleMania 40. He has a nagging knee injury, as he injured his MCL in January and had to take a few weeks off to recover on the road to the show of shows.

Jey Uso Feels WrestleMania 40 Match Let The Fans Down

Jey Uso has moved on from WrestleMania, but does admit to having mixed emotions about the bout with his brother.

Uso took on Jimmy in a “brother vs. brother” match in Philadelphia, ‘The City Of Brotherly Love,’ but the match didn’t quite deliver from a fan perspective. That thought didn’t go past Jey who did admit that his brotherly battle wasn’t up to the “uce” standards.

“I do kind of feel like we did let the people down …  I wanted to go out there and have a straight-up banger too. I wanted to do the wrestling part, let alone make sure the emotion part was there.”

Jey vs. Jimmy ended up going 11 minutes, but Jey did state that they had to tackle a time adjustment to the card.

“You’ve just got to play your position on the team. That’s what happened. But I am still happy that I got a singles match on WrestleMania with my brother, that’s the big picture. So I will always have me and him in the face-off at WrestleMania. I’m gonna frame a picture, it’s marked off our box.”

Jey said that someone did let him and Jimmy know that they lost a few minutes and they had do go out there and handle business.

The Future Of The Usos

Despite the let-down of the match, Jey Uso certainly finds himself in a great spot as he’s the number one contender to the WWE World Championship as he’ll face Damian Priest at Backlash.

Jimmy, on the other hand, finds himself in dire straits as he was attacked by his other brother Solo Sikoa and effectively kicked out of The Bloodline.

Tama Tonga Joins The Bloodline on 4/12 SmackDown, Jimmy Uso Kicked Out

WrestleMania is in the rearview mirror, and WWE has been known to re-stack the deck. This week’s SmackDown included a big change for The Bloodline as Jimmy Uso was kicked out to make room for Tama Tonga.

It is a new era for the Bloodline. The Rock is gone after WrestleMania, although he did promise to return for a match against Cody Rhodes. Roman Reigns is also taking a break after losing his title.

There is a new Bloodline, and Paul Heyman is reluctantly on board.

Bloodline Changes After WrestleMania 40

The Bloodline took to the ring this week on SmackDown, and they had a lot to address. The Wise Man Paul Heyman spoke about Cody Rhodes winning the Undisputed WWE World Title at WrestleMania.

Suddenly, Solo Sikoa cut off WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman’s speech on SmackDown this week to make his own announcement. He called attention to Jimmy Uso and how he should be reprimanded for losing. Then Solo hugged Jimmy in the ring while saying, “you’re my brother, I love you.

Jimmy Uso is coming off a WrestleMania loss to his brother, Jey Uso. There are punishments for losing, and they made that point very clear when Tama Tonga jumped in the ring to attack Jimmy.

After a brutal beat-down in the ring, which included wrapping a chair around Jimmy’s head in the corner followed by a running hip attack from Solo, brought a new chapter in the Bloodline saga.

Paul Heyman famously said that we were only in the “bottom of the 3rd inning” at SummerSlam last year. We have to wonder where they are in the ballgame after this development after WrestleMania 40.

The Wise Man looked scared in the corner, fearing that he was next in line. That beatdown on Heyman did not happen, as Solo brought him to join him and Tama as they did the Bloodline sign. Heyman, although a bit hesitant, did the pose alongside them.

Who is Tama Tonga

Roman Reigns and Tama Tonga are not related, but they share a connection through their Polynesian heritage. Tonga, real name Alipate Fifita, is of Tongan descent, while Reigns is Samoan, both belonging to the broader Polynesian cultural group. He is son of legendary pro wrestler Haku.

Tama entered WWE after having a lengthy run in NJPW, where he won many titles along the way. He has won the IWGP Tag Team Championship seven times with Tanga Loa. Tama is a four-time NEVER Openweight Champion and has won the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship four times.

He’s been on WWE’s radar for a while, but NJPW kept him locked in a contract. Needless to say, The Bloodline has a huge boost with Tama in their ranks.

There are other potential future Bloodline members possibly on their way. Jacob Fatu and Zilla Fatu, who is Umaga’s son, are always possibilities. From the way they splintered things off, it looks like Jimmy Uso could use an ally to fight the new Bloodline now.

Jey Uso Wins ‘Uso Civil War’ Over Jimmy Uso At WWE WrestleMania 40

WrestleMania usually features high-profile stories, as they reach a climax at the show of shows. This year saw two twin brothers face off in a dream match for a lot of fans.

Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso battled at WrestleMania 40. In the end, Main Event Jey Uso was able to topple his twin brother Jimmy and win at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Match Finish

Near the end of the match, Jimmy Uso got on his knees and begged for forgiveness, and Jey accepted it, only to eat a superkick from Jimmy. This resulted in a near fall, as they also teased an Usos reunion in the process.

Jey nailed a spear after that and climbed up top to nail a splash for the win. This was a clean win, where Michael Cole proclaimed that “Jey Uso wins the Uso Cival War!”

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi was mentioned several times throughout this match for a reason. He is the father of Jimmy and Jey Uso, along with Solo Sikoa as well.

Jimmy and Jey Uso entered WWE together, and they were inseparable for the longest time. Then, a knee injury in 2020 caused Jimmy to miss a lot of action, but Jey continued as part of Roman Reigns’ Bloodline story. By the time Jimmy returned, fans knew that the twins were destined to throw down. That went down at WrestleMania 40.

Special Entrance

Lil Wayne was a part of Jey Uso’s entrance, but he didn’t do much. He did not debut any new song, and only did around four bars of A Milli before Jey came out. It was still fun to see Weezy on the grandest stage of them all.

Weezy is in the middle of a world tour right now, with a few more dates scheduled out until June. You may find more information about Lil Wayne’s tour schedule here.

Rikishi Excited For Jey Uso vs Jimmy Uso ‘Dream Match’ At WrestleMania 40

WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi is thrilled to know that his sons, Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso will lock horns at WrestleMania 40 next month.

The sibling rivalry between Main Event Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso has been boiling for months now. It was at WWE SummerSlam last year that Jimmy crossed his brother Jey during the Tribal Combat match against Roman Reigns. It cost Jey the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Jimmy would later explain that he did it to protect his brother. This wasn’t the only time something like this happened.

Most recently Jimmy Uso went on to distract Jey and once again cost his brother the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Gunther during the Febraury 19th Raw. Tired of his brother poking his nose in his business, Jey Uso issued a challenge to his twin brother and Jimmy accepted.

Rikishi is delighted for Jey Uso vs Jimmy Uso

On Rikishi Fatu Off The Top, the legendary WWE superstar was questioned about what has been labeled as a dream match. It seems that Rikishi is excited about the match being booked because of his relation to both the stars and of course, due to the significance it holds for the whole Bloodline. Here is what he said:

“That’s exciting news. Man, I’m excited, to be able to have the boys out there. Another historic…Bloodline, family tree, news, whatever you want to call it, but to have my two sons out there on WrestleMania finally going after it together,

This is a big deal for the whole fans everybody. You’re finally gonna see the dream match, Uso vs. Uso, Yeet vs. No Yeet. It’s gonna be exciting. I’m very happy to be the last to know about it.”

Fans have witnessed plenty of sibling rivalries in the past and this match at ‘The Grandest Stage of Them All’ will certainly script some career-defining moments for them. 

Rikishi has teased getting involved with the Bloodline story for long and he could very well play a part in this clash in some way. 

WrestleMania 40 takes place on April 6 & 7 at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Jimmy Uso Responds To Jey Uso’s Challenge For WrestleMania 40

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.

WrestleMania 40 Challenge: Jey Uso Sets Sights On Match Against Twin Brother Jimmy Uso

WrestleMania 40 is less than 30 days away, and this week’s episode of RAW saw a lot of momentum toward the show of shows. Jey Uso took the microphone, and he had a lot to say.

Jimmy Uso screwed his brother, Jey, out of an IC Title match a couple of weeks ago. Now, Jey wants to face his brother on the grandest stage of them all. He was on RAW this week, where he laid down that challenge. 

Jey Uso’s WrestleMania Challenge

Main Event Jey Uso’s journey as a singles competitor on RAW saw him carve out his own path and establish his legacy apart from The Bloodline. That being said, his progress has often been impeded by interference from The Bloodline, particularly his estranged brother, Jimmy Uso. Frustrated over his brother’s interference and tired of missed opportunities, Jey Uso took matters into his own hands on the latest edition of RAW.

During the show, Jey Uso confronted the situation head-on and proposed a solution to resolve their ongoing conflicts. He issued a challenge to his older brother, Jimmy Uso, for a high-stakes ‘Brother vs Brother’ showdown at WrestleMania 40. 

The crowd responded with enthusiastic YEET chants, indicating their excitement for the potential clash between the siblings on the grand stage of WrestleMania. It looks like we may get YeetMania this year.

WrestleMania 40 For The Bloodline

This match holds significant value for WWE’s stories, and The Bloodline saga. After all, a brother vs brother match for the Usos has been on fans minds for a very long time. Given the history between the two brothers, particularly Jimmy’s betrayal of Jey at last year’s SummerSlam, things could get very interesting. 

Jey Uso recently spoke about this match, and he said he can’t wait for the promo battles. It looks like he got started early on that with a great promo on RAW. 

SEScoops will have more on this story as additional updates are made available. You never know what will break next, but we will be here with all the headlines you need.

YeetMania: Jey Uso is Pumped For Promo Battles With Jimmy Uso in WrestleMania Program

WWE is well on their road to WrestleMania 40, and it appears that a couple dream matches are possible. The Bloodline splintered, and Jey Uso is on RAW, but it appears that twin warfare is coming.

Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso are expected to collide at WrestleMania 40. When thinking about his potential Mania match, Jey is hyped for the promos that await fans.

YeetMania

Jey Uso discussed the possibility of facing his brother. After all, they are slated to face each other at WrestleMania 40. Uce is very excited about the possibilities, especially the build.

Following Jimmy Uso’s interference that led to Jey Uso losing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Roman Reigns at WWE SummerSlam, it appears that the twin siblings are heading towards a showdown at WrestleMania 40.

In the buildup to their potential clash, tensions escalated on the February 19 episode of WWE Raw when Jimmy’s actions caused Jey’s defeat against GUNTHER in a match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

While addressing the situation on Battleground with Tim & Eli, Jey shared his thoughts on the prospect of facing Jimmy in the ring. He can’t wait for the promos.

“Personally, I’m a little kid all over again. Hopefully it’s me and Jimmy at WrestleMania. If it is, I’m a little kid. It’s going to be so easy. We’re just going to do what we do all the time. What I’m most excited about is the lead up, the promos. I love talking. I’m trying to talk. You thought you had emotion in the Bloodline storyline with me and Roman, and me and Sami, watch me and my twin go at it. Ya’ll are going to be like, ‘They are 100% real.’ That’s what is going to make it fire. It’s going to be real. I’m excited to pump that out to the fans and give them that. It’ll be different from every other angle.”

The Road to WrestleMania

The Bloodline Saga has lasted years at this point, and we all knew a Jimmy vs Jey match was coming. It seems that we are getting that match this year.

Roman Reigns and The Rock will also be busy at WrestleMania. They will face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins during the first night of WrestleMania 40. Then Roman will defend the Undisputed Universal Title against Cody Rhodes on the next night.

The only Bloodline member left without a match is Solo Sikoa so far, as even Paul Heyman is accepting a WWE Hall of Fame induction. Odds are, Solo will find something to do so he can get a Mania paycheck.

Rikishi Teases Getting Involved in Jimmy Vs. Jey Uso Feud, Says There’s “A Piece Missing”

Jimmy and Jey Uso appear to be on course to a match at WrestleMania 40, and their father Rikishi is open to being a part of their story. 

At WWE SummerSlam 2023, Jimmy betrayed his brother during the Tribal Combat match, costing his brother the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. While Jimmy said he did what he did to protect his brother, Jimmy has since done all he can to interfere with his brother’s plans.

Last week on Raw, Jimmy distracted Jey, costing his brother in his Intercontinental Championship match with GUNTHER. During this week’s show, Jimmy again got involved, costing Jey in the main event match against Drew McIntyre. 

Rikishi Getting Involved?

It’s been reported for some time that a match at WrestleMania 40 pitting Jimmy against Jey is in the works. Many fans have argued that their father WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi should have a role in the feud, potentially as the special guest referee. Speaking at Monopoly Events’ For The Love of Wrestling convention in Manchester, UK, Rikishi teased getting involved when asked about the rumored match. 

“I think it’s going to be a good match for WrestleMania. But there’s just a piece missing in that match. What do you guys think? There’s a piece missing. We’ve got Jey Vs. Jimmy. But there’s just that [piece missing.] Is it #WeWantRikishi?” 

WWE WrestleMania 40

WWE WrestleMania 40 will be the promotion’s fifth two-night event, a tradition established during the COVID-19 pandemic. The card for the show as it currently stands is as follows:

  • Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cody Rhodes (Undisputed WWE Universal Championship)
  • Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bayley (WWE Women’s Championship)
  • Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Becky Lynch (WWE Women’s World Championship)
  • Seth “Freakin” Rollins (c) vs. Drew McIntyre (WWE World Heavyweight Championship)
  • GUNTHER (c) vs. Winner of Next week’s WWE Raw Gauntlet Match (WWE Intercontinental Championship)
  • Jimmy Uso Vs. Jey Uso (EXPECTED)

Drew McIntyre Defends Getting Help From The Bloodline Ahead Of Elimination Chamber

‘The Scottish Warrior’ faces backlash ahead of his important match at WWE Elimination Chamber on February 24. For months, Drew McIntyre has taken the standpoint that he hates the Bloodline(Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa) in his storyline. 

He has spoken openly about how they have cost him opportunities and will never forgive them. However, on the February 19 episode of Monday Night Raw, fans pointed out that McIntyre seemed fine when Uso and Sikoa helped him defeat Cody Rhodes. ‘The American Nightmare’ was on the verge of landing the Cross Rhodes on McIntyre until Sikoa hit Rhodes with the Samoan Spike. Uso also made sure to distract the referee so that the official wouldn’t notice 

The illegal assault allowed ‘The Scottish Warrior’ to get the win over Rhodes and build momentum towards the WWE Elimination Chamber this weekend. McIntyre will enter the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, with a win earning him a title match against Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WWE WrestleMania 40 in April. 

WWE Commentator Michael Cole and fans have called out McIntyre for taking the Bloodline’s help and called him a hypocrite. Ahead of the upcoming premium live event, the former WWE Champion has decided on TikTok to give his response to the criticism. 

WWE shared McIntyre’s response on Twitter. In the video, the WWE superstar shared that he arrived in Perth, Australia, for WWE Elimination Chamber quickly after the February 19 episode. He also called out Cole and Pat McAfee in character for their comments on the show. 

“…I’m not a hypocrite. Don’t be pushing a false narrative to the masses when you have such power to influence. Come to the source and understand the big picture,” said McIntyre. 

Drew McIntyre Explains His Thoughts On Bloodline Helping Him

Although it seems clear that McIntyre was fine accepting Uso and Sikoa’s interference in his match, he decided to give his perspective. The former WWE Champion also sent a warning to Sikoa that he would attack him when the time was right. 

“…Watch Monday back. Look in my eyes. What do you see? You clearly see I wanted to attack Solo, and when the time is right, I will, but I’ve grown as a person, a competitor, a leader. I can’t be selfish. I have to do what is right for the fans and the future of the world title,” said McIntyre. 

He explained that defeating Rhodes on the February 19 episode was important and a confidence boost heading into WWE Elimination Chamber. It was ‘The American Nightmares’ second loss since his return to WWE in 2022.

The February 19 episode of Monday Night Raw gave McIntyre a small character change, showing that he will do what is necessary to become a champion, including working with the Bloodline. 

WWE Has Another Dream Match Planned For WrestleMania 40

WWE is on the road to WrestleMania, and they are setting up the matches for the big show as we speak. This week’s episode of RAW saw a lot of momentum toward the grandest stage of them all, and a big match is already coming together. This match is also one that some fans have dreamed about witnessing for years. 

WWE’s WrestleMania Plan

During WWE RAW this week, Jey Uso battled GUNTHER for the IC Title. Uce didn’t win that match, but he was really close at one point.

Jimmy Uso interrupted that match by ringing the bell to stop a count when Jey was pinning GUNTHER. That distraction caused GUNTHER to get another shot in the match, and he ended up pulling off the win.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer made it clear that Jimmy vs Jey Uso is the match at WrestleMania. This has been the plan for months, so they are going that way with them.

“Obviously, they’re setting up Jimmy vs Jey at WrestleMania, which has been the plan for like, six months.”

What’s Next on the Road to WrestleMania 40

Jimmy and Jey Uso have won a ton of titles together, and they are one of the best tag teams of all time. They have yet to really battle it out in the ring, and this year’s showcase of the immortals will certainly give them that opportunity.

The card is always subject to change, and you never know what obstacles may arise in the next month and a half, but it looks like fans will finally see The Usos get their WrestleMania moment in a singles match this year.

SEScoops will have continued coverage of the road to WrestleMania. Please keep checking back for more updates.

The Usos Reach New Milestone in WWE Tag Team History

Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos are back on the same page and have reached another milestone in the annals of tag-team history.

At WWE Royal Rumble 2023, Jey refused to attack Sami Zayn, seemingly leaving the Bloodline and raising questions about the future of The Usos.

During this week’s Raw, Jey reunited with Jimmy and the rest of the Bloodline by attacking Sami Zayn.

New Milestone

Since WWE Money in the Bank in July 2021, The Usos have dominated as the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions.

Last May, the brothers defeated then-Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro to unify the titles, though WWE has since allowed the titles to be defended separately.

This week, The Usos (already the longest-reigning Tag Team Champions in history) reached 600 days of this latest reign as SmackDown Tag Team Champions.

If you count the combined number of days The Usos have held tag gold in WWE, the brothers have dominated for 1,527 days.

The End?

The Usos may have held the SmackDown Tag Team titles for 600 days (and counting) in their latest reign with the Championships, but will they reach 700?

It has been reported (though not confirmed by WWE) that the plan is for the brothers to defend their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania 39 against Zayn and Kevin Owens.

There have been calls by some for the match to headline Night One of the event, given the popularity of the storyline featuring Zayn and the Bloodline.

Sami Zayn Set for Bloodline Match on WWE Monday Night Raw

Sami Zayn’s issues with the Bloodline are far from over, as the Honorary Uce will be stepping in the ring with a former ally tomorrow night.

Zayn’s near-year-long storyline with the group has been praised by fans as some of the best storytelling in wrestling they’ve seen in years.

At the 2023 Royal Rumble, Zayn’s time as the Honorary Uce ended when he refused to attack Roman Reigns and instead struck Kevin Owens.

Monday Night Raw

At WWE Elimination Chamber, Zayn attempted to dethrone Reigns as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion but came up short in his native Montreal.

During last week’s SmackDown, Solo Sikoa defeated Sami Zayn, but the post-match beatdown did not go as planned.

When Jimmy Uso said he’d do the running hip attack, Zayn was able to fend off both men, infuriating Reigns backstage.

On tomorrow’s Raw, Uso will be under pressure to make things right when he faces Zayn one-on-one.

The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion has certainly been feeling the heat as of late, after being unable to coax his brother Jey back to the Bloodline.

Future Plans

Jimmy Uso and Sami Zayn will face off next week, and it may not be long before they share the ring again.

It has been reported that the WrestleMania 39 plan is for the Usos to defend their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships against Zayn and Kevin Owens.

As to how WWE will get to this match remains to be seen, as The Usos are evidently not on the same page, and Owens has refused to join Sami’s side.

There have been rumors that this match could headline Night One of WrestleMania, given the popularity of Zayn and this angle.

Latest on the Status of The Usos for WWE Elimination Chamber 2023

The Usos may be making an appearance at WWE Elimination Chamber after all, despite previous travel restrictions due to legal issues.

This weekend’s event will be WWE’s first Premium Live Event in the Great White North since Breaking Point 2009 and will be headlined by Roman Reigns Vs. Sami Zayn.

The event will take place in Zayn’s hometown of Montreal, Quebec, and will also feature two Elimination Chamber matches for the U.S. title, and for a shot at the Raw Women’s Championship.

The Usos

During the latest episode of SmackDown, Paul Heyman said that the Usos will be watching next week’s SmackDown and Elimination Chamber from home.

Many saw this as WWE’s way to write off the brothers, who have faced travel restrictions for years due to a series of DUIs.

During the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that the pair will be allowed to travel to Canada.

“I was told they’re okay. I will check again, but when it first came up, I asked if they’re cleared for Canada, and I was told they’re both cleared. I’m not sure if it’s a swerve, or a storyline, but they’re cleared to show up.”

Dave Meltzer.

It remains unclear if The Usos will appear at WWE Elimination Chamber, only that they are able to.

Legal Troubles

The Usos have both experienced legal issues over DUIs which have affected their wrestling careers.

In September 2011, Jimmy was arrested and charged with a DUI after he blew twice the legal limit in the state of Florida.

In March 2013, he was arrested again for arrested for violating his probation by driving with a suspended license.

It was in January 2018 that Jey was arrested for DWI in Texas, after driving from a WWE live event, and was released the same day after posting a $500 personal recognizance bond.

In February 2019, Jimmy was arrested in Detroit after a dispute with police officers, who claimed they could smell alcohol from the inside.

In July 2019, Jimmy was arrested yet again near Pensacola, Florida and was charged with a DUI, but found not guilty by an Escambia country judge that December.

Two years later, Jimmy was arrested again in July 2021, blew close to triple the legal limit, and was booked on a misdemeanor DUI charge.
