Since Jey Uso has distanced himself from the Bloodline, his problems have only gotten bigger. One of the main culprits for his not being able to win major championships is his brother, Jimmy Uso. Fans are divided between the twins, but it looks like their father and WWE legend Rikishi has his favorite.

Rikishi talked about the match between Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso on the Off the Top podcast. He said that the ‘YEET’ brother has been doing better than his brother from a business point of view. Not only this, the Hall of Famer even said if he had been on the board of TKO, he would have gone for Jey. Rikishi felt that Jey had a better singles year compared to Jimmy, who progressed only a little with the Bloodline.

Jimmy has so far cost his brother three major championships due to the Bloodline shenanigans. First, he turned on Jey at SummerSlam against Roman Reigns. Then he once again interfered in a tag match, which led to The Judgment Day snatching the tag titles. Lastly, a small distraction from Jimmy was enough for the longest-reigning I.C. champ to pick up the victory against Jey.

Jey is having a hell of a year as a single. Jimmy's the same as far as being involved in the group with the Bloodline and so, to see the steam that Jey is having as a singles career, it only makes sense from a business standpoint. If I was on the board of TKO or WWE, we'd have to go with YEET. I would feel that would be the best business move, to be able to let Jey get the upper hand for WrestleMania against his brother.

On last week’s episode of Raw, Jey challenged his brother to a match at WrestleMania. To no surprise, Jimmy accepted his challenge and vowed to remind him who’s the big brother. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top at the Show of Shows.

WrestleMania tradition continues as Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso battle it out at the Show of Shows after 15 years

The wrestling universe is excited for marquee matches like Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns and the tag team match. However, one other match the WWE Universe is very much looking forward to is a match between two brothers.

However, this won’t be the first time that two brothers are fighting at WrestleMania, as it has already happened twice before. The legendary Bret Hart went one-on-one against his brother, the late Owen Hart at WrestleMania. Fifteen years later at WrestleMania 25, the Hardy Boyz fought each other in a brutal Extreme Rules match.

And now at WrestleMania 40, Jey and Jimmy will have a grudge match, surprisingly, once again after fifteen years. Both brothers had said many times that their dream match was to fight each other at the Show of Shows. Now, their dream will surely come true at WrestleMania 40.
