Jimmy Uso Discusses What Went Wrong In Match Against Jey Uso At WWE WrestleMania 40, Jimmy Suggested For It To Be Squash Match

Jimmy Uso opens up about the bout.

One of the matches on the bill for WWE WrestleMania 40 night one was Jimmy Uso versus Jey Uso. The bout went 11 minutes, and in the time since, Jey has spoken about the criticism of the match and how it was not received well.

Jimmy offered his insight while guest appearing on Cheap Heat. He shared that Jey was of the mindset that WWE was scared to give them 30 minutes to work. After learning how much time they would have and that his brother was getting a special entrance with multi-time Grammy Award-winning artist Lil Wayne, Jimmy suggested that his brother squash him. WWE shut that idea down.

“I’d say it was just time,” Jimmy said about what went wrong with him and Jey Uso’s match at WrestleMania 40. “You got two twin brothers that finally get together, they’re going against each other. This meant a lot from us, both of us so we thought we was going to get to cook. Especially with our angle and how we been such a big part of this whole story and you know, we’ve just been leveling up every year since, and when we got there, you’re talking about — hell yeah, I was pissed off. Hell yeah, I felt some kind of way. But then it’s like, ‘Aye uce, just remember this, no matter what they telling us today and how much time they got or whatever they want us to do out there, understand this brother, don’t let that take away from our moment though. It’s me and you in there, it’s WrestleMania dawg, we in the city of brotherly love, I’m going against you. Brother, I’m happy, I’m blessed, I’m fulfilled today.’ So, other than that, they couldn’t take me off my rocket. They couldn’t take me off my high horse. I just had to remind my brother, because he’d be like, ‘Man, they know we can cook! They scared to give us 30! They scared to give us 30! We about to steal that. They better give us nine, hell.’ Here’s the thing, here’s the thing uce, when I found out (about) the time, and brother had the (Lil) Wayne entrance… I said, ‘Bruh, let me get in there. Just kill me. Just duck, spear me, boom. Splash me, boom. One, two, three. We just get the hell up out of there. Squash match, what you think? They was like, ‘No, we need something. You gotta give them a little something.’ ‘Well, damn. If we give ‘em a little something, we letting the fans down, I feel.’ We can’t even cook the way y’all want us to cook, because we get nine whole minutes… They ain’t ready for it. I was like, ‘They ain’t ready for no squash bro. Duck, spear, kill me. One, two, three. Get the Wayne back in and start partying. Let’s go.’ Give the other five to somebody…”

Jey Uso headlined WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1st. He clashed with CM Punk over the vacant World Heavyweight Title, and Punk emerged victorious.
