Jey and Jimmy Uso stirred excitement this week after responding to speculation about a potential WrestleMania 42 dream match for the World Tag Team Championship. The Usos’ recent victory on RAW has positioned them as the reigning champions, placing them firmly in the spotlight as major contenders for the grand show in 2026.
On the last episode of RAW in 2025, Jey and Jimmy defeated AJ Styles and Dragon Lee in a heated contest for the World Tag Team Titles. The match saw both teams pushing their limits, but it was The Usos who ultimately triumphed, capturing their ninth championship and further cementing their status as legends in tag team wrestling. Their win sparked rumors and discussions among wrestling fans and the media regarding what their next big title defense could look like at WrestleMania 42.
Rumors of a Triple Threat Showdown at WrestleMania 42
Speculation regarding a possible WrestleMania 42 dream match erupted when Sportskeeda proposed a scenario involving The Usos defending their titles in a triple threat match against The New Day and The Hardy Boyz. This hypothetical encounter would bring together some of the most popular and decorated teams in wrestling history for a high-stakes contest at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
The Usos responded to the news by sharing the post on their official X account, drawing attention to their perspective on the rumored bout. The reaction from Jey and Jimmy appeared to convey amusement, which many observers found intriguing. There is some debate about why they found the suggestion funny—possibly due to their past victories over The New Day or the fact that Matt and Jeff Hardy, while still recognized as the top tag team by Pro Wrestling Illustrated in 2025, are considered to be past their competitive prime.
The involvement of iconic teams has fueled ongoing discussions among fans, increasing anticipation for WWE‘s direction as WrestleMania approaches. These dream match rumors continue to swirl, keeping the focus on The Usos and ensuring they remain a central topic in the tag team division.
The Usos Set for First RAW of 2026
Building on their momentum, Jey and Jimmy are being promoted to appear at the first RAW of the year, raising expectations about how they will kick off 2026 as champions. The presence of The Usos often energizes the crowd, and their celebration could set the tone for the episode. Fans will be watching to see if new challengers emerge, especially with developments in rival stables like The Vision, who recently added Austin Theory to their lineup and are currently engaged in a feud with Penta and Rey Mysterio.
This edition of RAW will be particularly notable, not only as the season premiere, but also as the anniversary of RAW’s partnership with Netflix. WWE has announced a special collaboration with the Stranger Things franchise, promising unique cross-promotional moments that could add to the excitement surrounding both the show and the champions.
The continued success of The Usos and the persistent rumors about a WrestleMania 42 dream match ensure that all eyes are on the World Tag Team Champions. As speculation mounts, fans and contenders alike await confirmation of which teams will challenge Jey and Jimmy on the biggest stage in sports entertainment, potentially altering the landscape of WWE tag team wrestling in 2026.
