Jey Uso On Possibly Fighting Jimmy Uso At WrestleMania 40, 'It’s My Dream Match, If This Does Happen, I’d Be So Grateful And Happy'

New York, 22 November - The Usos have carved a remarkable legacy in the annals of WWE. Having won gold on multiple occasions, the Usos have consistently demonstrated exceptional talent and unwavering dedication, earning them the admiration of fans and peers alike.## Upon their arrival on the grand stage, the Usos immediately made an impact, showcasing high-flying acrobatics, synchronized maneuvers, and undeniable charisma. They captured their first WWE Tag Team Championship in 2014, defeating The New Day in a thrilling match. This victory marked the beginning of a remarkable reign that would solidify their position as one of the most dominant tag teams in WWE history.## Over the next decade, the Usos continued to excel, capturing the WWE Tag Team Championship on an additional seven occasions, three times on Raw and five times on SmackDown. Their impressive achievements include holding the record for the longest male tag team championship reign in WWE history at an astounding 622 days.## However, their remarkable journey together came to an end at SummerSlam, where Jimmy appeared to have turned on Jey by pulling him out of the ring while he was trying to pin Reigns and superkicked him, allowing Reigns to defeat Jey. Later, Jey moved to Raw the next night at Payback with the remixed version of its former entrance theme, thus disbanding The Usos.## Now, both are at the top of the list on their roster, making a dream match at WrestleMania 40 quite enticing. In an interview with Billboard’s Carl Lamarre, Jey possibly threw down the idea of having a match against Jimmy Uso at WrestleMania 40, which is already steaming hot. ## "Right now, I feel like Jimmy’s at the top of the list. He’s gotta get this work. He’s still ducking me right now. He knows what it is. If I could talk from Josh and me, it’s my dream match. If this does happen, I’d be so grateful and happy. I would just look at him like look what we doing. Look at this! Those are special moments in the ring that nobody in the world knows. When we did the Money in the Bank with Roman [Reigns] and Solo, I was just looking at them getting a little teary-eyed like, “Look at us.” That would go down as the No. 1 moment in my career if I get to wrestle with Jimmy in the sold-out Philadelphia in front of friends and family. And I’d beat his ass. If I could pick someone else, I’d probably wanna run it one time with Seth Rollins for that championship. He’s a GOAT. He’s a beast and got my respect. He’s been holding down Monday Night RAW forever. I’m with it." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Jey Uso Names Conor McGregor, Calling On Him To Make His WWE Debut

Boston, 22 November - Conor McGregor is undeniably a huge star with a massive fan base. If the former UFC Featherweight Champion were to join WWE, it would be a massive push for the company. ## McGregor has headlined multiple big UFC pay-per-views and not only has he headlined the events, but he has also been able to bring significant growth to the company. He is a former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight and Lightweight Champion, becoming the first UFC fighter to hold championships in two weight classes simultaneously. ## The idea of McGregor joining WWE raises the question of how much of his fortune he would bring with him. McGregor has hinted at the possibility of facing Roman Reigns, one of the biggest stars in the wrestling world. While fans eagerly await his WWE debut, there are also WWE stars who would love to see McGregor make his way to the company. ## In an interview with Billboard’s Carl Lamarre, Jey Uso stated that McGregor is the first person who comes to his mind when considering potential WWE debuts. ## “First one that comes to mind is Conor McGregor. He’s kinda been tip-toeing around us a little bit. He’s had interactions with a couple of us but never fully got in here. I’d like to see what he’s about.” ## The possibility of Conor McGregor making his debut in WWE has been a topic of discussion among wrestling fans. In the past, McGregor has expressed his interest in competing in WWE and even called out Roman Reigns for a match at WWE SummerSlam. However, nothing came of it. ## McGregor also addressed rumors of a potential WWE appearance during a heated exchange with Paul Heyman. If McGregor were to make an appearance in WWE, it would be a significant event for both parties. WWE would need to ensure a well-studded crowd arena and worthy challengers like Reigns who can match his skills. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
