The Usos discuss the possibility of splitting.
The Usos (Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso) have been aligned since they entered WWE, though fans have gotten a tase of them on their own during the Bloodline saga.
While Jimmy Uso was injured at the start of the pandemic, Jey Uso stepped to Roman Reigns and ascended to Main Event Jey, breaking out as a singles star.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, the Usos discussed the possibility of doing more as singles talent and their ultimate goal.
Jey: I never thought I could be a singles. It never crossed my mind. Not one time. As I was going through singles, I was recognizing what was happening and finding myself too. Not one time was I like, ‘I’m going to do this alone.’ We always came into the mindset, from day one, ‘we’re going to win this together.’
Jimmy: Be the longest tag team together.
Jey: Not one time did [being singles] cross my mind. Stuff just developed, it happened, and I’m glad it went that way. A blessing happening in disguise. [Jimmy] got hurt, I leveled up and I feel like if that never happened, we wouldn’t be sitting here.
(Asked why they never thought of doing singles)
Jimmy: We’re twins. Off the bat, that’s the first thing you notice. You automatically associate twins with teammates. That’s just what we are. I remember coming in and remember hearing that tag teams aren’t look at as the top teir, the top act in WWE.
Jey: You always had different guys who got put together. They never had matching outfits. What tag team (wrestling) really was, Demolition, the Hardys, the real ones, we wanted to carry that. We always had that in our brain. Now, so many doors opened to where, if Jimmy wants to go singles, I support him. If I want to go, he’ll support me. We can always come back toegteher. We always have each other’s back.
Jimmy: We never pitched a split. This naturally, organically happened. If [Jey] is the one right now, let’s go—Vice versa. What’s kept us wanting to be a tag team has put us here today. We’ve been so, ‘we’re going to be the best damn tag team in the world,’ which we are. Now we also have a chance to be the best damn singles champion ever.
(Asked if they’ve pitched doing a split and a match against each other)
Jimmy: We haven’t pitched it yet, but we’re constantly saying it to each other.
Jey: Before our career is done. That’s our number one dream of happening. Me vs. him at WrestleMania. It’s like back in the living room. From day one, this is what we always wanted to do. I want my dad to be involved. I want my whole family to run this thing. Me being against my brother, my heart would be filled with joy.
The Usos were one unit against their family Roman Reigns & Solo Sikoa as part of the Bloodline Civil War at WWE Money in the Bank. In a stunner, Jey Usp became the first man to pin Roman Reigns since December 2019.
