Jey Uso addresses working with Sami Zayn.
When Sami became the Honorary Uce of The Bloodline, Jey Uso did not take to him like the rest of the faction. Eventually however, he would warm up to Zayn and the pair would strike up a bond that continues to this day on WWE programming.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, The Usos reflected on Zayn’s involvement in The Bloodline.
Jey: I was all against that. I was like, ‘Him?’
Jimmy: It’s the Bloodline, what are we doing here?
Jey: Him? This is the one we’re going to let in the circle?
Jimmy: It worked.
Jey: I was wrong. He’s low-key funny. Very witty, very smart.
Jimmy: We were cool with Sami way before this.
Jey: I just imagined him walking out with us, and when he walked out with us, it fit weirdly.
Jey: All that breaking character, all that was real. It’s live. I almost started thinking, ‘you’re unprofessional.’
Jimmy: I would say that to him.
Jey: I was like, ‘You need to tighten up.’
Jimmy: Be a professional out there.
The Usos
Sami left The Bloodline after the 2023 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, with Jey most recently pinning Roman Reigns for the first time since December of 2019 at Money In The Bank over the weekend.
