But then you have a situation like this, one guys injured, so the other one goes home and sits out weeks. I'd use this situation to fix that, give him a gimmick beyond Samoan and a twin. Then when Jey comes back, you have something better than guys who are interchangable, maybe Jimmy gets cocky, thinking Jey was holding him back and his singles success shows that, maybe Jey gets jealous. Just give them distinct identities, or develop seperate ring styles. I've never been able to care about the Usos because they seem to be relying on "they're twins" for their identity, there's nothing to the characters beyond that, I don't see how that can ever make them successful or interesting. But then you have to wonder if they will really work to give BOTH Usos distinguishable personalities, or does Jimmy get the spotlight "Because Total Divas" while Jey just looks like a loser who "can't let go" of their tag team gimmick and is left to flounder. One is better than none. And it doesn't have to be acrimonious, have Jimmy get the IC, have Jey come back, be all proud of his brother, and go after the US title so they can both be champions while sometimes teaming.

I gotta say, if I was a wrestling promoter and had identical twins, I don't think they'd ever stop being a tag team unless they both worked hard on creating individual gimmicks. Most people can't tell them apart. One half of the Usos is just that. But then you have a situation like this, one guys injured, so the other one goes home and sits out weeks. I'd use this situation to fix that, give him a gimmick beyond Samoan and a twin. Then when Jey comes back, you have something better than guys who are interchangable, maybe Jimmy gets cocky, thinking Jey was holding him back and his singles success shows that, maybe Jey gets jealous. Just give them distinct identities, or develop seperate ring styles. I've never been able to care about the Usos because they seem to be relying on "they're twins" for their identity, there's nothing to the characters beyond that, I don't see how that can ever make them successful or interesting. That's kinda my point. This is an opportunity to create individual gimmicks, but they should have had distinguishing features all along, so now we're just left with someone who's a Q without a U.

Ok cool. Still, this does give them a chance to do what they should have years ago and not just go "well, just stick them together and have them do stuff". I have no confidence they will, but its a chance.

He can still spell Qat or Qwerty!

Have him push his injured brother around in a wheelchair.
Cue Kane.
Gifs forever.

Would love to see Jimmy work with some of the boys down in NXT.

Would love to see Jimmy work with some of the boys down in NXT. I'd even be ok with that. Don't punish a guy because his brother is injured. Creative needs to get off its ass for once and show it can improvise. Speaking of which...had Truth even been around since Mania?

Does this mean Jey joins The Authority B-Team when he returns? Nope. First Jey's gotta start defending the belt for his brother before an irate Big Show KO Punches Jey and costs him the belt for refusing to join the Authority. It will be won by a returning Chris Jericho.

He can team with Big Show and cut an epic promo: "Tyson Kidd, we want the gold, sucka! Cesaro, we comin' for you...!"
Instant money.

King of the Ring Jimmy Uso I'm picturing Naomi leading him to the ring yelling "All hail King Uso!" Into the mic over and over again, and realize I want this more than anything. When I say King, ya'll say Uso!

Does he start a feud with Reigns over the new belt? Roman can say Jimmy may have one title, but he's got two Slammys. (If we're gonna recycle stuff, make with the funny.)

Since they are "related" to the Rock, Jimmy should start referring to himself in the third person. He could attack Jey for letting the team down. "That's the guy who took the bread out of Jimmy's mouth. Jimmy's out of work because of you. " "DON'T TOUCH JIMMY"! I wouldn't mind them featuring him in matches. After all, Jey will likely be out of action for a bit.

He could turn heel with his wife. It'd be better than nothing 6 months

I really do want to see what he can do on his own. If Total Divas taught me anything (other than IcyHot safety awareness), it's that Jimmy is loaded with charisma. He's a scene stealer.

I don't know, man. "A couple of years late" is usually around the time Vince finally grasps that something exists.
