Why Jey Uso Is in No Rush for Another Tag Team Run With Jimmy

Many fans assumed Jey and Jimmy Uso were going to reform their tag team again this year, but that clearly didn’t happen and now Jey Uso has explained why he’s in no hurry to team up with his brother again.

While speaking on the RAW Recap show, Jey Uso was asked why he decided not to reunite as a tag team with his brother Jimmy Uso. He explained that he would never turn down Jimmy or deny that they are one of the greatest tag teams of all time.

While he would love to team up again someday, he believes both of them have unfinished business as singles competitors. Jey said he still has a lot to prove and wants to see Jimmy get a title shot, whether on SmackDown or Raw.

“I’m never gonna say no to Jimmy, never gonna deny my brother being one of the greatest tag teams of all time. I’d love to run it back, being a super team, but we got unfinished business in this singles game. I still got a lot to prove. I wanna see Big Jim get a title shot — I know it’s lurking there, whether it’s SmackDown or Raw.”

Jey Uso added that he’s proud of Jimmy’s progress but noted that once a wrestler experiences success as a singles star and champion, it feels different. The opportunities grow, the money increases and there’s more exposure. For now, Jey is focused on his own path and proving himself on his solo run.

“I’m happy for him to be on that route too, man, but I’m telling you, once you get a taste of what it is — being a singles star and singles champion — it hits different. The money goes up, the commercials go up. So I feel like I got things to prove in my own journey right now, Uce.”

This couldn’t be more apparent after Jey Uso eliminated Jimmy Uso during the battle royal on RAW last week, which definitely shocked Jimmy Uso in a big way.

While a full-fledged reunion for a tag team run isn’t happening right now, Jey made it clear that the door is always open for a future Usos comeback. For now, both brothers are focused on their own success and so we’ll just have to see when they’ll eventually reunite.
