Jey Uso’s status remains uncertain after sustaining an injury during WWE Wrestlepalooza on September 21, 2025. Following an accidental incident involving a steel chair during the action-packed match, Jey Uso has entered concussion protocol as part of his recovery plan.
Details of the Incident During Wrestlepalooza
At WWE Wrestlepalooza this past weekend, the Uso twins, Jey and Jimmy Uso, reunited to face Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed in a highly intense match refereed by guest official LA Knight. While the bout featured numerous highlights, concerns grew as the match progressed.
Jimmy Uso appeared to struggle with a potential knee injury, as commentator Michael Cole noted him favoring his left knee. Despite this, Jimmy continued wrestling sporadically throughout the match. Meanwhile, Jey Uso encountered serious trouble when he attempted to strike Bron Breakker with a steel chair. The chair ricocheted off Breakker’s back, causing Jey to suffer a significant head injury that left him bleeding and unsteady.
Confirmation of Jey Uso’s Injury and Protocol Status
After the match, Bryan Alvarez from Wrestling Observer confirmed that the steel chair mishap resulted in Jey Uso being busted open and subsequently placed under concussion protocol. This safety procedure is mandatory for head injuries in WWE to ensure proper evaluation and recovery.
“Jey busted himself open, he hit Bron with the chair and it bounced off Bron’s back and split him six ways from Sunday,” Bryan Alvarez, Wrestling Observer
“He’s in concussion protocol, which is a requirement after any injury like this.” Bryan Alvarez, Wrestling Observer
Unexpected Changes to the Usos’ Plan at Wrestlepalooza
Prior to the match, fans anticipated a grand entrance from the Usos, especially with the twins encouraging the audience to light up their phones as they made their way to the ring. The entrance set the stage for high energy and nostalgia, with Jey’s walkout resembling moments from his “Day 1-ish” persona.
However, wrestling insider Cory Hays of Bodyslam revealed that Jimmy and Jey Uso were originally scheduled to enter to their classic theme music. Those plans were altered shortly before the event, though the reasons for the change remain undisclosed.
Implications for Jey Uso and WWE’s Upcoming Events
The Usos’ match at Wrestlepalooza was a showcased highlight, making Jey Uso’s injury a significant development for WWE’s tag team division. With Jey now following concussion protocol, his immediate in-ring future is uncertain, affecting both storyline progression and upcoming appearances.
Jimmy Uso’s knee issues combined with Jey’s concussion raise concerns for the twins’ ability to compete together in the near term. WWE will likely monitor their conditions closely, prioritizing health and wellness ahead of future match schedules.
This match has turned into CHAOS! 😱
