With WrestleMania 41 approaching, many WWE Superstars are solidifying their matchups for the grand event. However, Jimmy Uso’s path remains unclear. That may have changed after a backstage interaction with former World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest, hinting at a possible alliance between the two.
Jimmy Uso Stakes His Claim for the U.S. Championship
On this week’s SmackDown, Jimmy Uso confronted LA Knight and expressed his interest in the United States Championship. However, during his promo, he had a hilarious slip-up, referring to the title as the “U.S. Tag Titles” instead.
While the mistake led to some jokes online, it didn’t stop Jimmy from making his intentions clear—he wants a championship heading into WrestleMania 41.
Damian Priest Teases an Alliance with Jimmy Uso
Shortly after the segment, Damian Priest shared a backstage photo of himself with Jimmy Uso on his official X (Twitter) account, seemingly poking fun at Jimmy’s “U.S. Tag Titles” blunder.
While the post was lighthearted, it has led to speculation that Priest and Jimmy Uso could team up soon. The two superstars currently share a common enemy in Drew McIntyre, making an alliance seem like a realistic possibility.
Drew McIntyre Could Bring Priest and Jimmy Together
On SmackDown, McIntyre interfered in Damian Priest’s match against Shinsuke Nakamura, causing a disqualification. After the interference, McIntyre and Nakamura stood tall, suggesting a possible partnership between the two.
This development could push Jimmy Uso and Priest to unite as well, potentially leading to a tag team feud or setting up a multi-man match at WrestleMania 41.
What’s Next for Jimmy Uso and Damian Priest?
While nothing is confirmed, there are several possible directions WWE could take with this teased alliance:
- Jimmy Uso and Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre and Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania 41
- Jimmy Uso continues to pursue the U.S. Championship while Priest backs him up
- Priest recruits Jimmy Uso into The Judgment Day, strengthening the faction
If Priest and Jimmy officially join forces, it could be an exciting new pairing that shakes up SmackDown’s landscape.
Jimmy Uso and Damian Priest’s backstage interaction may have started as a joke, but it could be setting up a new partnership in WWE. With Drew McIntyre now involved in both of their storylines, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Jimmy and Priest unite to take on a common enemy. As WrestleMania 41 approaches, fans will have to wait and see if this teased alliance turns into something bigger.
