WWE Smackdown LIVE Tag Team Champions The Usos have been vocal about not appearing on the WrestleMania main card for their entire tenure in the WWE thus far. Both wrestlers stepped their game up last year, turning into one of the most compelling and entertaining acts in the WWE.
The current direction seems like the champs will make it on the WrestleMania main card this year, a feat both men surely deserve. Jimmy and Jey recently spoke with The Pensacola News Journal and below are some interview highlights.
On never having a main card match at WrestleMania:
“I don’t think it could happen, it’s gonna happen. Me and my bro keep saying, ‘This is the year,’” said Jey Uso in a recent phone interview with the News Journal. “And if for some reason we’re not on the main card, we’re doing the people wrong, man. The WWE Universe ain’t getting their money’s worth. We’re the best thing running right now, straight out the 8-5-0, right down the street from WrestleMania, man.”
“This year is probably hands down one of our hottest years,” said Jimmy Uso. “WrestleMania changes by the hour, by the minute, so I’m nervous about it.”
On their heel turn:
“The heel change would have never worked if that baby face phase didn’t go as long as it did,” Jey Uso said, referring to their seven-year run as good guys. “The heel change just made it more real. We get to be us, we could talk the way we want to, dress the way we want to, it was like the ball was in our court now. And it took a lot of hard work to finally get the ball, you feel me?”
