We equals now. He did teach me the game. I was the student to him. I sat under the learning tree all of COVID. I was there front row, man. I had my ticket, and I was just learning the game, man. I was learning from Big Uce [Roman Reigns] and learning from The Wiseman. Me and Roman [Reigns]? We've got a love-hate relationship. But respect between us is there now. He's still Big Uce, and he's still my Tribal Chief, man. There will never be another Tribal Chief to Jey Uso, but Roman Reigns," Uso said.The Usos cost Roman Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel 2025The Usos haven't been on the same page for a while, as Jey Uso is focused on the World Heavyweight Championship, and Jimmy Uso wants to eliminate all their enemies, such as Drew McIntyre and The Vision.
