Jey Uso is focused on reaching a significant milestone alongside his twin brother Jimmy Uso as part of their wrestling journey. The Uso brothers, who debuted as a tag team in May 2010 on WWE RAW, have spent over a decade climbing the ranks in the company, motivated by the example set by legendary wrestlers like Rey Mysterio.
Initially appearing as villains with their cousin Tamina against The Hart Dynasty, Jey and Jimmy spent their early years establishing themselves in the midcard scene before capturing their first tag team titles in 2014 by defeating the New Age Outlaws. Together, they have become eight-time tag team champions with five SmackDown tag titles and three RAW tag titles to their names.
After periods apart following their departure from The Bloodline faction, Jey Uso clinched the WWE World Heavyweight Championship once while pursuing a solo career. As they approach the 20-year mark in professional wrestling, the brothers have reunited to feud with The Vision, demonstrating their continued presence at WWE’s forefront.
In a recent interview with Justin Barrasso of Undisputed, Jey reflected on their career with a clear vision for the future.
“This isn’t a job, it’s a lifestyle. For me, this is a 16-year run. I want to hit 20. That’s a big goal for me. You’ve seen 20 years of Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, John Cena, and all the greats. I want to see 20 years of The Usos.” ?Jey Uso, WWE Superstar
Recent WWE RAW Encounter Highlights Jey Uso’s Complex Role
Jey Uso’s character has fluctuated between hero and villain since last appearing alongside Roman Reigns. During their earlier interactions, Reigns had encouraged Jey to forge his own clever path, which has led to a portrayal of Jey as a restless figure who often feels targeted by external forces.
During the September 29 episode of WWE RAW, The Usos competed in a Tornado Tag match against The Vision. Jimmy Uso was injured early after Bron Breakker slammed him through the announce table, removing him from the main action.
Towards the end of the match, The Vision teamed up with Bronson Reed to isolate The Usos, setting up a potential finishing move. However, Roman Reigns intervened, wielding a steel chair to take out both Reed and Breakker, enabling The Usos to secure the victory with a coordinated double Uso Splash.
While Jey reconnected with Reigns after the match, Jimmy remained at a distance, signaling unresolved tension within the team.
Context Around The Usos’ Legacy in WWE
Since their debut in 2010, The Usos have evolved from promising midcard wrestlers into one of WWE’s most dominant tag teams. Their ability to reinvent their style and personas over the years has earned them respect and numerous championship reigns.
Jey’s ambition to reach a two-decade career milestone mirrors achievements by icons such as Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, and John Cena, wrestlers recognized for their longevity and impact in the sport. This goal reflects a desire not just for personal success but for establishing the enduring legacy of The Usos within WWE history.
Significance of The Usos’ Journey and What Lies Ahead
The pursuit of a 20-year milestone underscores the challenge that comes with sustaining a career in the demanding world of professional wrestling. Jey Uso’s determination to match Rey Mysterio’s WWE milestone signals a commitment to balancing physical endurance with constant reinvention.
As The Usos continue their current feud and evolve their characters, their legacy will likely influence future tag teams aspiring to prominence. Their journey also highlights how individual members, like Jey with his world championship reign, contribute to the overall impact of a storied tag team.
Fans can expect further developments in The Usos’ story as they navigate new rivalries and roles, aiming to secure their place among WWE’s all-time greats over the coming years.
