Jey Uso, a prominent figure in WWE’s main event scene, continues to assert his status as a top competitor despite being back in the tag team division with his brother Jimmy. Since The Bloodline’s rise in 2023, Jey earned a world title opportunity and has maintained his position among the company’s elite wrestlers, affirming his confidence even after returning to tag team action.
During an appearance on Cody Rhodes’ podcast, What Do You Wanna Talk About?, Uso addressed his place among WWE’s top stars. He emphasized that his wrestling level remains comparable to main-event wrestlers such as Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, regardless of his current tag team focus. Uso dismissed online opinions and firmly identified himself by his “Main Event” nickname.
“We’re all still competing. Especially with you (Cody Rhodes), I still compete with you. Man, come on, man. Come on. I still compete with you, I still compete with Seth (Rollins). I look at the top homies. Man, I consider myself a top guy, and internet, whatever. Y’all say — whatever… I’m him. I’m ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso now.”
He also made a pointed reference to his identity within the wrestling world by saying,
“Y’all know which twin I am now.”
Currently, Jey and Jimmy Uso hold the WWE World Tag Team Championship, marking their ninth reign together as a team. Beyond this, Jey has also held the tag titles alongside Cody Rhodes twice, reinforcing his credentials as a dominant force in the tag division and the company overall.
The Bloodline’s Role in Elevating Wrestling Drama
Jey Uso recently shared thoughts on the dramatic nature of modern WWE storytelling, attributing much of what is called “CINEMA” in wrestling to The Bloodline family’s influence. On his Instagram story, Uso highlighted that the compelling family narrative has been vital for professional wrestling’s appeal, adding depth and excitement to the sport’s storylines.
He defended his family against critics who questioned The Bloodline’s contributions and took aim at how fans reacted to his extended Royal Rumble entrance and Roman Reigns’ victory at the event. Jey also addressed disparaging remarks from CM Punk, who had criticized The Bloodline’s impact on WWE.
Why Jey Uso’s Position Matters for WWE’s Future
Jey Uso’s insistence on his status as a top competitor shows his determination to remain relevant and respected in WWE’s evolving landscape. His ability to transition between singles and tag team wrestling while maintaining a strong persona keeps him essential to ongoing storylines. As WWE moves forward, his role within The Bloodline and championship scene positions him as a key player in major WWE narratives.
Jey Uso says he considers himself a top guy in WWE.
