After a DUI arrest in July 2019, Jimmy Uso wasn’t used by WWE until January 2020. When he did return with brother Jay, he was put straight into a meaningful angle saving Roman Reigns from Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler. Shortly after WWE began building them up to challenge for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, with The Uso’s vs. New Day vs. Miz & Morrison booked for a ladder match at WrestleMania 36.
Plans would change at the last minute when The Miz turned up sick, causing Romain Reigns to pull out of the show, and forcing WWE to switch the tag team ladder match to Jimmy Uso vs. John Morrison vs. Kofi Kingston. It appears that somewhere during that match, Jimmy suffered a severe knee injury that will require surgery. It isn’t known precisely at what point the damage occurred during the match, as it wasn’t evident watching at the time. Sadly, current estimates range from 6 to 9 months for his recovery.
This injury is also bad news for his brother and tag partner Jay, as it appears WWE doesn’t see him as a singles talent, as they had him sit out half a year when Jimmy was in WWE’s bad books following the DUI.
