Usos reunite, but leadership friction surfaces after Jey's title run

Jimmy and Jey Uso have reunited in WWE after roughly six months apart, but the twin brothers’ return as a tag team has been marked by visible tension and differing views on leadership and direction, one of the brothers said in recent interviews. Jimmy Uso told interviewers that while teaming with his brother remains "in my soul," the two are "not on the same page" since reuniting, and he singled out Jey’s run as World Heavyweight Champion as a factor that has changed his approach.

Jimmy said their recent performances exposed underlying issues, adding, "Brothers obviously just not on the same page." He also compared Jey’s behavior to that of their cousin Roman Reigns, saying, "He's acting like Roman Reigns," and suggesting that the responsibilities and spotlight of a world title can alter relationships. Jimmy described the championship experience as carrying a cost, saying success can affect "your vibe, your relationship with people or with your brothers." He also acknowledged his own championship goals, stating, "Of course I want to hold a championship," while noting he takes pride in Jey’s accomplishments and does not feel the title is necessary for his own fulfillment.
