Jey Uso marked a major milestone in WWE when he and his brother, Jimmy Uso, regained the WWE World Tag Team Championships, and hinted at big ambitions for 2026 in a recent social media post. This latest win puts the Jey Uso WWE Tag Team partnership back in the spotlight following a challenging period as singles competitors.
The Usos Reclaim Tag Team Gold on RAW
During the final episode of Monday Night RAW in 2025, The Usos, consisting of Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso, overcame AJ Styles and Dragon Lee to secure the World Tag Team Championships once again. This victory represents their first tag team title win since losing the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn back in April 2023. The celebration among their fans is a testament to the Usos’ enduring presence and teamwork within the tag team division.
After this pivotal win, Jey Uso took to his Instagram story to share a photograph with Jimmy Uso and sent out a simple yet impactful message. “Looking at 26,” wrote Jey. His post signals their intent to focus forward and set ambitious goals into the next year, aiming to continue their resurgence and solidify their legacy within WWE tag team history.
Reflecting on Jey Uso’s Singles Pursuit
Jey Uso’s journey in recent years has included a significant stint as a singles competitor after departing from The Bloodline faction in 2023. Transitioning to Monday Night RAW, Jey pursued solo success and captured the WWE Intercontinental Championship. His highest achievement as a singles star came when he won the 2025 Royal Rumble, followed by a victory over Gunther at WrestleMania 41 to claim the World Heavyweight Championship.
Despite his individual achievements, Jey Uso’s time as a solo wrestler drew criticism from some wrestling veterans. Vince Russo, a notable figure in the industry, expressed strong disappointment regarding WWE’s handling of Jey’s singles career.
“This was a failure. We failed to get Jey Uso over. So, now we have to go back to where we were 10-plus years ago? I wouldn’t even do that, bro, because I’m admitting failure… You all failed miserably, and you don’t even understand you’re admitting the failure,”

The Usos Look Toward the Future
Now, with the tag team titles secured, The Usos are refocused on dominating the tag team division. Their renewed partnership suggests that Jey and Jimmy Uso are prepared to defend their championships and possibly start another historic run as tag team champions. Fans and analysts alike will be watching to see if the brothers can maintain their momentum and deliver standout performances in 2026.
This shift from the ups and downs of Jey Uso’s singles run to the renewed unity of the Usos marks a poignant chapter for the WWE. The outcome could shape not only their individual legacies, but also influence the direction of WWE’s tag team landscape in the coming year.
