Jey Uso has reportedly chosen not to team up with his twin brother Jimmy Uso due to ongoing legal difficulties, a move that has disrupted one of <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/category/wrestling-news/wwe/”>WWE’s most celebrated tag team partnerships. This development emerged recently and has had significant repercussions within WWE storylines and backstage dynamics.
According to former WWE commentator Jonathan Coachman, Jey’s decision stems from frustration over how Jimmy’s personal issues have indirectly harmed his own career trajectory. Coachman explained on his podcast, Behind the Turnbuckle: The Last Word, that Jey may have told his brother,
“Hey man, I’ve gotta go on my own because every time you get in trouble, it hurts me.”
“You know what they did? You know what they’ve done? They took one of the best tag teams of all time, and his brother Jimmy had his issues, and so I’m quite sure backstage, Jey said, ‘Hey man, I’ve gotta go on my own because every time you get in trouble, it hurts me.’”

Current Feuds Reflect the Separation in WWE Programming
The split between the Uso twins is mirrored in WWE’s current programming, where Jey and Jimmy are involved in separate ongoing feuds. Jey Uso is presently engaged in a rivalry with Seth Rollins‘ faction on Monday Night RAW, while Jimmy Uso is targeting Solo Sikoa’s faction on SmackDown.
This division not only affects their in-ring storylines but also marks a significant shift for fans who had long celebrated the siblings as a dominant tag team force within WWE.

Meanwhile, other major news in professional wrestling continues to unfold. Naomi crowned a new Women’s World Champion by cashing in her Money in the Bank contract at Evolution 2025, an unexpected twist that disrupted IYO SKY’s title reign. Naomi later addressed the locker room on RAW with pointed remarks, tagging fellow competitors as “raggedy heifers.” This caught the attention of CM Punk, who shared his amused reaction via social media.
Naomi is scheduled to defend her newly won title in a Triple Threat match against IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley at the upcoming SummerSlam event. Meanwhile, CM Punk is preparing to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Title.

Implications of the Uso Brothers’ Rift and Future Considerations
The reported refusal by Jey Uso to work alongside Jimmy Uso signifies a major shift within WWE’s tag team landscape. Their previous partnership was regarded as one of the company’s greatest, and this fissure highlights the complex influence of off-screen issues on in-ring collaborations. This separation could lead to more distinct solo career paths and new rivalries for both wrestlers, altering WWE’s narrative dynamics substantially.
As Jey continues his singles run and Jimmy pursues his own storylines, fans and industry observers will be watching closely to see how this personal and professional divide will affect their futures and WWE’s tag team division overall.
