This isn’t the first time family ties have been tested in the ring, with iconic clashes like Jeff vs. Matt Hardy and the unforgettable battles of the Hart Family paving the way. Brace yourselves, this chapter of Brother vs. Brother will be etched in WrestleMania history as we predicted this match in our WrestleMania Match Card.
History
Jimmy and Jey have been part of the most decorated tag teams in the history of WWE, The Usos. They won the tag team championships eight times; some consider them the greatest team ever in the respective division. They have worked together for more than a decade. As a part of The Bloodline, Usos became the longest reigning tag team champions in the history of WWE when they held the titles for 622 days.
They enjoyed their prime time under the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. This reign ended at WrestleMania 39 when Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated The Usos at WrestleMania 39 to capture the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships. So, Jey Uso vs Jimmy Uso at WrestleMania 40 has been written at last year’s WrestleMania.
After losing the titles at WrestleMania, tensions started to rise within Bloodline. Jey Uso became the first person to pin Roman Reigns after 1294 days at Money in the Bank, where The Usos defeated Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. Later, Jey faced Reigns in a Tribal Combat in the main event of SummerSlam. Jimmy interfered in the match and cost Jey the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. This is where problems began between the twin brothers, Jimmy and Jey.
Later on, Jimmy’s interference didn’t stop. When Jey landed on Monday Night Raw, he teamed with Cody Rhodes and won the Undisputed Tag Team Titles. Jimmy cost Jey the tag titles on an episode of Raw. Jey and Jimmy started the match in the Men’s Royal Rumble match at the #1 and #2 positions. We saw a glimpse of a Brother vs. Brother showdown. Recently, Jimmy interfered and cost Jey the Intercontinental Championship match against Gunther on Raw. It was the last nail in the coffin. Jey challenged Jimmy to settle this on the Grandest Stage Of Them All, WrestleMania XL.
A Surprise Guest Referee
It has been rumored for months that Rikishi will play a major role in that story whenever a Jey Uso vs Jimmy Uso at WrestleMania 40 happens. Rikishi is a WWE Hall of Famer and real-life father of The Usos. It has been speculated that Rikishi will be the special guest referee for the anticipated encounter. Whether this happens or not, an appearance from Rikishi is necessary. WWE will be a big miss if he doesn’t appear. It will take this storyline to a new level, attracting more eyeballs. Although Rakishi predicted Jimmy vs Jey’s outcome, his involvement will significantly impact the match.
Winner Prediction for Jey Uso vs Jimmy Uso at WrestleMania 40
This match will be listed as an all-time great match in WWE history. It is a really big match, but it is overshadowed by other top things going on. The whole Roman Reigns, The Rock, and Cody Rhodes storyline has impacted other feuds. However, this match and overall story have the potential to stand out at WrestleMania, especially if Rikishi gets involved in any capacity. Also, Jimmy needs to be a bit more serious in his character than the funny person he is.
Now, let’s focus on the winner of this match. Both Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso have worked well in their singles run. Jey Uso has improved a lot. He is one of the top babyfaces in the company right now. Hence, our pick will be Jey Uso for this match. However, it seems like this story will stretch after WrestleMania, and you can expect multiple Uso vs. Uso match-ups, including a triple threat, at some point in the summer.
