The 2024 WWE WrestleMania 40 event left many fans feeling underwhelmed, particularly those who tuned in to see the highly-anticipated match between Jimmy and Jey Uso. While the brothers’ in-ring chemistry is undeniable, many felt that their showdown failed to meet the high expectations that came with it. In a recent interview, Jimmy Uso shed some light on what went wrong, and it’s not what fans might have expected.
Poor Creative Handling to Blame
According to Jimmy Uso, the creative team’s approach to their match contributed significantly to the underwhelming experience. “I think the biggest issue was the way we were booked going into that match,” Uso stated. “We were given very little to work with, and as a result, it felt like we were just going through the motions.”
Uso explained that the Usos were given a very basic storyline leading up to WrestleMania 40, with not much room for improvisation or creative freedom. “We’ve been in this business long enough to know that sometimes you need to be given the right tools to create magic, and unfortunately, that didn’t happen in this case,” Uso said.
Physical Limitations Played a Role
Another factor that Uso cited as a contributing factor to the match’s underwhelming reception was the physical toll he and his brother had taken leading up to WrestleMania 40. “To be honest, Jey and I were both coming off some injuries, and we hadn’t had the best training leading up to the match,” Uso revealed.
With both brothers not feeling 100%, they struggled to deliver the high-energy performance that fans had come to expect from them. “It’s no secret that we’re one of the toughest teams in the WWE, but when you’re not fully healthy, it’s hard to bring your A-game,” Uso acknowledged.
Backstage Drama Didn’t Help
Sources close to the situation have confirmed that there was some tension between the Usos and the creative team leading up to WrestleMania 40. “There were some differences of opinion about how the match should be booked, and that created some tension behind the scenes,” a WWE insider revealed.
While Uso didn’t explicitly confirm the drama, he did hint that there were some creative disagreements that may have impacted the match’s outcome. “Let’s just say that we’re not always on the same page as the creative team, and that can sometimes lead to issues,” Uso said with a chuckle.
Looking to the Future
Despite the disappointing outcome of their WrestleMania 40 match, the Usos are already looking to the future and planning their next move. “We’re not worried about what happened at WrestleMania 40,” Uso said confidently. “We’re focused on getting back to our winning ways and proving to the world that we’re still the best team in the WWE.”
With their sights set on the future, the Usos are poised to make a big impact in the WWE. Whether they can recapture the magic that made them one of the most beloved teams in the WWE remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – they’re not going to let a disappointing match at WrestleMania 40 define their legacy.
A New Era for the Usos?
As the WWE continues to evolve and change, it’s possible that the Usos may be due for a rebranding or a fresh start. With the rise of new talent and the resurgence of older stars, the WWE is always looking for ways to keep its content fresh and exciting.
According to a WWE insider, the Usos may be in line for a major push in the coming months. “The Usos are still one of the most popular teams in the WWE, and they’ve got a lot left to give,” the insider revealed. “We’re looking at ways to get them back in the spotlight and showcase their skills to the world.”
While nothing has been officially confirmed, the Usos seem to be on the right trajectory to make a big impact in the WWE. With their sights set on the future and a renewed focus on their craft, it’s likely that we’ll see a lot more from this talented team in the coming months.
Conclusion
The Usos’ underwhelming performance at WrestleMania 40 may have left fans feeling disappointed, but it’s clear that the brothers are still committed to their craft and eager to prove themselves. With some creative tweaks and a renewed focus on their training, it’s likely that we’ll see a major resurgence from the Usos in the coming months. One thing is for sure – these talented brothers are not done yet, and they’re ready to make their mark on the WWE.
