Jimmy Uso Makes Surprising 'Leashed Up' Admission Regarding Jey Uso

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Steven Harrison | Last updated Oct 24, 2025 8:38 PM ET

Jimmy and Jey Uso are widely regarded as one of the greatest tag teams in professional wrestling history. The duo rose to main event-level prominence as part of The Bloodline, under the leadership of "The Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns.

But when Jey broke away from the family, his career trajectory accelerated higher than his twin brother's. Jey won the 2025 Royal Rumble and the World Heavyweight Championship from Gunther at WrestleMania 41. His iconic entrance and profitable catchphrase have catapulted Jey to the top of WWE's stratosphere.

Meanwhile, Jimmy has been floating in the mid-card — in and out of acting as a supporting character in others' storylines, but has yet to have a defined story of his own.

Speaking on Peter Rosenberg's Cheap Heat podcast, Jimmy revealed his jealousy of Jey's success.

Is Jimmy Uso Going to Turn on Jey Uso?

The sons of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi have reunited on WWE television in 2025, but recent tension suggests another feud could be on the horizon.

Who can blame Jimmy for feeling the way he does?

From a talent standpoint, Jimmy and Jey are not far apart. Jey's success has a lot to do with being in the "right place at the right time." Jey's entrance and catchphrase have been lightning in a bottle to cement him as a bona fide main event talent. However, Jey's in-ring and promo work have been spotty over the past year.

The most attention Jimmy has gotten this year is in connection with his wife Naomi and their expected little one.

Jimmy has credible reasons — in and out of character — to feel some type of way about Jey. With Jey's big match at Saturday Night's Main Event on the horizon, Jimmy might let out the dog that's been "leashed up."
