The Grand Usos Showdown

[Lizuka #BLM]

We finally get Jimmy and Jey in the ring together! ... And they fought for like maybe five minutes before getting sidelined from each other and having nothing to do with each's eliminations with Jimmy in particular being offhandedly ditched like it was nothing. The highlight of their interaction was Grayson Waller acknowledging Roman.

In general it's been really, really weird how they've handled trying to make this a feud. It's like they're continually undercutting it.

[Goldash #BLM]

Jimmy is nothing right now. He has a great presence, he obviously has the in-ring talent, but they need to make near-wholesale changes. Perhaps that starts this Friday, but who knows. Even Heyman can't build him up.

The best comparison I can make is with Ludwig Kaiser, who made a huge impression a few weeks ago without any intervention from Gunther. The crowd genuinely hated his actions and it generated a lot of positive buzz. Jimmy's not anywhere close. Even Dom's better in his role than Jimmy is.

For that reason, I'd rather see Jey wrestle against a bigger heel at Mania. That's not saying a match between the two can happen in the future. In its current state? You almost risk this becoming even more forgettable than Hardy vs. Hardy at WM25.

If this is supposed to be a Mania match they've fumbled it badly. Jey's still over despite basically being kept doing busy work and Jimmy is flat out a geek.

Just feels like it's going nowhere.

[fw91]

yeah it led to nowhere, and Jimmy was just another elimination.

[CMWaters]

Yeah, Uso War doesn't seem to be the best bet for Mania.

If anything it seems they've been hinting at Jey/Gunther. Have Jey win the strap there then you can build back to that, a pissed and angry Jimmy at Jey getting singles gold first.

When the turn happened Jey/Jimmy seemed destined but it would be a waste of Jey now. Jimmy isn't even in the same state let alone the same lane. If he had spent the past fall being the biggest heel on TV maybe, but he's been an (entertaining) joke. He needs to be repaired to even be on the card. A match with Jey? No.

It’s weird how that went down cause the crowd seemed to be expecting it and was hype for it but as soon as the two went in the ring, it died.

Like once the entrances were over, nothing.

Jey and Jimmy won't be able to find the juice for a proper brother battle until they leave the company and start an entirely new company to have a match in.

Before they can have a five star classic, Jey must become Yeetdust.

[mrbananagrabber]

I never want to hear “Yeet/No Yeet” ever again, I know that much.

The way Jimmy was eliminated without any Jey involvement at all made me think WWE isn’t going with this match at Mania. Think Jey is getting Gunther at Mania now.

I would have had Jimmy get eliminated earlier anyway he’s kinda a goof at this point but I did like him trying to pal up to the other heels and getting beaten up constantly.

Unless WWE lean heavily into the "Jey tries to make Jimmmy stop being Roman's bitch", you can't do Jey vs Jimmmy at 'mania. Jey is a main event face and on a different level to his brother who is third in the Bloodline pecking order and takes most of the losses. And Jimmmy is so good at being the Bloodline goon that breaking away from that group would feel like a bad move.

Jey needs to wrestle someone else at 'mania, and that someone else should be Gunther.

Jey vs. Gunther is the vibe that I got too.

[Dub H]

I haven't kept much at all. Wtf happened that Jay is so much ahead of Jimmy?

Jey's been having matches with top talents and even winning some of them. He's also constantly interacting with the upper card. Jimmmmy went crawling back to Roman, is often treated like a hanger on or unimportant. He comes off more as a self-important joke than someone to take seriously.

[JCBaggee]

One-on-one, it ain't there yet. But maybe let them lead opposing teams for a big match (maybe Survivor Series?) and build to a final singles match from there. Build up Jey as an explosive solo talent who has been forged in fire on Raw and Jimmy as a manipulative leader who has been learning from watching Roman. Jimmy cheats to win the team match, Jey gets the clean pin one-on-one to bury the feud.

[chronocross]

It was boring once they faced off, I'd rather see Jey go after Gunther and the IC title at Mania.

[Nosnorb]

Well their old man liked the showdown.

Got to feel bad for Solo though, daddy still don't have time for him even though he helped his cousin once again retain the title.

[Cvslfc123]

Jey is so far ahead of Jimmy that he can just say "Well Jimmy wants to be Roman's bitch, that shit ain't my problem" and just move on .
