Why Was Jimmy Uso Absent From WWE in 2021 During the Birth of The Bloodline?

The tag team duo of The Usos were at one point inseparable. The twins were one of the best tag teams out there, taking out almost anyone. The brothers even went on to become the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. However, as things were going smoothly for the pair, it started to fall apart, with both of them becoming mortal enemies.

However, this is not the first time the pair has been separated. Something similar happened back in 2021 when Jimmy Uso had to be written off the television due to certain reasons.

Jimmy Uso’s absence from TV

At WrestleMania 36, Jimmy Uso participated in a triple-threat ladder match for the SmackDown Tag-Team Championship title. However, the twin suffered an injury on his knees following a fall. Later on, it was announced that he might be losing 6 to 9 months of television. However, the star made his return almost a year later on the 05/07 edition of SmackDown in 2021. This was almost 13 months after he suffered the injury.

Till the star returned, his brother mostly participated in solo matches, as the promotion was already short-handed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. However, in his absence, his brother decided to find solace in another brother. By the time he returned, a lot of things had changed. There was a time when Jey Uso was against his cousin Roman Reigns. But what Jimmy Uso saw after returning was shocking. His twin had accepted him as The Tribal Chief. This is where the foundation of The Bloodline was laid.

While Jey Uso is now the sworn enemy of The Bloodline, Jimmy Uso is still a part of it. However, interestingly, after he moved to Raw, Jey Uso formed an unexpected bond and team with Cody Rhodes, a big Reigns rival. While Jimmy Uso is left without his brother, there are speculations that he might form a tag team with an old enemy of The Bloodline.

Jimmy Uso’s new tag team partner

Every avid fan of WWE knows that Jimmy and Jey Uso were a powerful tag team. However, due to the complications of The Bloodline, they both fell apart. With Jey Uso being drafted to Raw, he found a new partner in Cody Rhodes. However, this draft came at a price. After Nick Aldis became the general manager of SmackDown, he made sure he completed the transaction and brought Kevin Owens on board. But Owens is not happy with this.

He was seen visibly sad and frustrated as he could not pair up with his buddy Sami Zayn anymore. And in his eyes, it all happened because of Jey Uso. Since Jimmy Uso has a score to settle with his twin, chances are he might manipulate Kevin Owens to help him beat Jey Uso. Both Jimmy Uso and Kevin Owens are experienced in tag team scenarios.

While Jucey’s tag team with Solo Sikoa was not quite a success, fans might get to see Jimmy Uso pairing up with Kevin Owens. With The Bloodline’s purpose almost at its end, could this new and fresh tag team at Survivor Series be the end of the faction? How do you think Sami Zayn might react if Kevin Owens and Jimmy Uso team up?
