The Usos are arguably one of the greatest teams in WWE history, but this doesn’t mean that Jimmy and Jey don’t have a desire to face each other 1 vs 1.
In an interview with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport prior to Money in the Bank, The Usos discussed if they had any interest in becoming singles stars:
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 together. 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.”
The Usos then stated how it is there dream to wrestle 1 vs. 1 at a WrestleMania:
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.”
