Highlights

  • Brother vs. Brother at WrestleMania 40 - Jimmy and Jey Uso are slated to face off in a long-awaited match, closing a rivalry.
  • Jey Uso's Dream Match - He expressed excitement over the potential matchup, deeming it the defining moment of his career.
  • Strategic Planning - Uso vs. Uso match aims for big stage in wrestling; intertwining with current programs adds intrigue.

Despite early speculation that Jey Uso might be in line to challenge Gunther at WrestleMania 40, it appears WWE is not going in that direction. Having set a match for Jey to battle Gunther on Raw tonight, WWE is instead looking at another opponent. It's a match Jey Uso has always wanted and it's a dream match of sorts that was teased at this year's Royal Rumble.

The plan seems to be brother versus brother at WrestleMania 40. The latest reports suggest a showdown between Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso is in the cards, potentially bringing some closure to a rivalry that was started months ago. The seeds of this intense sibling rivalry were sown last year when Jimmy betrayed Jey at SummerSlam, fracturing the once-unbreakable bond. While the brothers found themselves on separate paths -- Jey went to Raw and Jimmy stayed on SmackDown with The Bloodline -- they have yet to engage in a one-on-one confrontation. WWE appears to be saving that for the biggest show on the yearly calendar.

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, the anticipated Uso vs. Uso showdown is being strategically planned for the grandest stage in professional wrestling. It will be interesting to see how WWE swerves that storyline in with the current program unfolding involving The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes. Not as marquee a matchup, the storylines will inevitably cross over.

This Is A Match Jey Uso Wanted

Jey Uso hasn't shied away from expressing his excitement for a potential match between these two on a big stage. He stated, "That would go down as the number one moment in my career if I get to wrestle with Jimmy in the sold-out Philadelphia in front of friends and family. And I’d beat his ass." The prospect of twins with decades of tag-team experience facing off promises a special and potentially fantastic match.

Or if he can't have that, a World Title match against Seth Rollins will do.

Could Jimmy get involved tonight, stopping Jey from winning the Intercontinental Championship? If the plan is for these two brothers to face off with each other, that's a logical booking choice. It allows Gunther to retain, it gives Jey a reason to go after Jimmy, and it moves Jimmy back into a more prominent role. He's taken somewhat of a backseat in recent weeks as The Bloodline drama has unfolded.
