After sensationally pinning Roman Reigns in the main event of Money In The Bank, Jey Uso is at the forefront of the Bloodline storyline that has dominated WWE for over three years.
At the London PLE, Jey became the first person to pin the Universal Champion since December 2019. Following the win, it appears that Uso and Reigns are now on a collision course for a one-on-one championship match possibly at SummerSlam on Saturday, August 5th in Detriot.
Despite being on track to challenge for the title once again, Uso has revealed that his dream WrestleMania match would be one much closer to home.
Prior to Money In The Bank, The Usos were guests on Ariel Helwani Meets and spoke about their desire to raise the tag team division, how Jimmy’s injury led to Jey’s solo run, and the beginnings of the Bloodline saga.
Jey: I never thought I could be a singles. It never crossed my mind. Not one time. As I was going through singles, I was recognizing what was happening and finding myself too. Not one time was I like, ‘I’m going to do this alone.’ We always came into the mindset, from day one, ‘we’re going to win this together.’
Jimmy: Be the longest tag team together.
Jey: Not one time did [being singles] cross my mind. Stuff just developed, it happened, and I’m glad it went that way. A blessing happening in disguise. [Jimmy] got hurt, I leveled up and I feel like if that never happened, we wouldn’t be sitting here.
Helwani then asked the twins why they couldn’t be singles competitors, to which they replied that they always wanted to be a legitimate tag team, but now that things have changed if either want to go on a singles run, they would support one another.
Jimmy: We’re twins. Off the bat, that’s the first thing you notice. You automatically associate twins with teammates. That’s just what we are. I remember coming in and remember hearing that tag teams aren’t looked at as the top tier, the top act in WWE.
Jey: You always had different guys who got put together. They never had matching outfits. What tag team (wrestling) really was, Demolition, the Hardys, the real ones, we wanted to carry that. We always had that in our brain. Now, so many doors opened to where, if Jimmy wants to go singles, I support him. If I want to go, he’ll support me. We can always come back toegteher. We always have each other’s back.
Jimmy: We never pitched a split. This naturally, organically happened. If [Jey] is the one right now, let’s go—Vice versa. What’s kept us wanting to be a tag team has put us here today. We’ve been so, ‘we’re going to be the best damn tag team in the world,’ which we are. Now we also have a chance to be the best damn singles champion ever.
Following their answer, Helwani asked if anyone in WWE has ever pitched them splitting up, which would then lead to a feud between the twins.
Jey Uso Revealed His Dream WrestleMania Match Would Be Uso vs Uso
Jimmy: We haven’t pitched it yet, but we’re constantly saying it to each other.
Jey: Before our career is done. That’s our number one dream of happening. Me vs. him at WrestleMania. It’s like back in the living room. From day one, this is what we always wanted to do. I want my dad to be involved. I want my whole family to run this thing. Me being against my brother, my heart would be filled with joy.
