Jey and Jimmy Uso have a dream to wrestle each other at WrestleMania.
The WWE superstars and former multi-time tag team champions spoke on this topic during a recent interview with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, where the brothers opened up about their chemistry together and how they hope to prove that they are the best tag team in the industry. However, they also reveal their biggest dream…getting to face each other in a singles matchup at the Showcase of the Immortals.
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.
(Asked why they never thought of doing singles)
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 look at as the top teir, 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.
(Asked if they’ve pitched doing a split and a match against each other)
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.
The Usos emerged victorious over Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns at yesterday’s Money In The Bank premium live event. You can read about who got pinned in that matchup here.
