The Uso’s were recently guests on Table Talk, and Jimmy used it as an opportunity to talk about his torn ACL, which happened in the ladder match against John Morrison and Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 36. During the conversation, he’d also reveal he is working towards a January 2021 return.
I don’t like hospitals, I don’t like doctors, I don’t even take medicine. I don’t like any of it, so to sit there and have to go under with the whole gown on having surgery, yeah, I tore the ACL, and now we’re looking at January. Hopefully, we’re back and ready to roll.
It was the first minute at WrestleMania, I tore my ACL within the first minute. I had no idea! All I knew was I went down, and I jumped off the ladder from 4 feet. I landed on the mat, and that’s how I blew my ACL. Out of all the crazy things we have done in the past decade in WWE, I get hurt from falling 4 feet off a ladder. Man, I was pissed. I knew something was wrong, I had torn it cleanout. I found out two days later that it was an ACL tear.Jimmy Uso
Jimmy’s ACL tear has also affected his brother Jay’s career, as clearly WWE doesn’t see him as a singles wrestler, having only used him twice since the injury. As a duo though, The Uso’s are highly regarded within WWE and have been mainstays of the tag team division since debuting on Raw in 2010. Once Jimmy is medically cleared to return, it’s expected the pair will be prominently featured again.
