Jimmy Uso, a prominent WWE superstar, is reportedly set for a significant career change after SummerSlam 2025, according to insider reports. The rumored move involves the 39-year-old wrestler transitioning full-time to Monday Night RAW, signaling a new chapter in his wrestling career.
Since reconciling with his brother Jey Uso and Roman Reigns, known as ‘The Original Tribal Chief,’ Jimmy has gained considerable popularity. More recently, he has been aligned with Jacob Fatu on SmackDown in opposition to WWE United States Champion Solo Sikoa and his faction My Family Tree (MFT).
Recent Matches and Current Status Before SummerSlam
Jimmy Uso challenged Solo Sikoa for the United States Championship during the July 12th episode of Saturday Night’s Main Event but was unable to claim the title due to interference from Talla Tonga and a decisive roll-up from Sikoa. Although Jimmy is currently not scheduled to appear at the upcoming Premium Live Event in New Jersey, speculation about his future plans continues to intensify within WWE circles.
According to WrestleVotes, WWE officials have been discussing the possibility of moving Jimmy Uso to RAW on a permanent basis after SummerSlam 2025. This development has attracted attention as it could pave the way for the full-time reunion of The Usos tag team alongside his brother Jey.
Per WrestleVotes, There have been internal discussions within WWE about sending Jimmy Uso to RAW on a full-time basis, likely after SummerSlam.
If this shift occurs, it would reunite The Usos, whose last tag team appearance together came on the March 24 episode of RAW, where they successfully defeated A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory and Grayson Waller) using their finishing move, the 1D.
Rikishi Offers Insight into Jimmy Uso’s Prospects
WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, Jimmy Uso’s father, recently shared his perspective on his son‘s potential during an interview with The Wrestling Classic. He expressed optimism about Jimmy’s future, highlighting his talent and encouraging him to pursue a successful singles career similar to that of his brother Jey.
“Well, I always say Big Jim is, he’s a very talented kid, one that’s in due time, I think Big Jim’s gonna find his way out there and win the hearts into the fans. I mean, he’s already done (that), but to be able to see the boys get off and do their own deals as single competitors, you know, as a wrestler, it’s a challenging feeling, but it’s a feeling that you must try, right? Because you don’t want to be that guy that we’re popular as a tag team,” Rikishi lamented.
Rikishi further emphasized the importance of wrestlers exploring diverse opportunities within their careers, whether successful or not, and wished his son well in his journey ahead.
Potential Implications of the RAW Move for Jimmy Uso
Should Jimmy Uso’s move to RAW materialize following SummerSlam 2025, it could mark a pivotal moment in his WWE career. The transition would allow him to establish a presence as either a singles competitor or as part of a reunited Usos tag team, offering fresh storylines and renewed fan engagement. For WWE, this change may rejuvenate both RAW’s roster and Jimmy’s personal trajectory in the wrestling world.
As anticipation mounts, fans and commentators alike are eager to see how this rumored shift will affect ongoing feuds, alliances, and championship pursuits in the months ahead.
