After his return, Jimmy began working with Jey and joined The Bloodline. At Money in the Bank, The Usos won their seventh WWE and fifth SmackDown Tag Team Championship. At WrestleMania 38, The Usos defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs.

They soon began feuding with RAW Tag Team Champions RK-Bro leading to a title unification match which The Usos managed to win.

At Survivor Series 2022, the Bloodline defeated the team of Sheamus, Butch, Ridge Holand, KO, and Drew McIntyre in a war games match when Zayn delivered a low blow to Kevin Owens and Jimmy hit a splash for the 3-count.

At the Raw is XXX episode, The bLoodline held the trial of Sami Zayn to decide whether he is with the Bloodline or against them. Paul Heyman claimed that Zayn was in league with Kevin Owens and would betray the Bloodline. Reigns was convinced by this and asked Solo Sikoa to take him out only for Jey to stop him and play a video tape which showed Zayn's loyalty. Reigns declared Zayn "Not Guilty...... for now."

The Usos then had a match against the Judgement Day for the Raw Tag team championship. Jimmy apparently got hurt during the match following which he was replaced by Sami Zayn. Jey and Zayn hit the 1D for the win.

At Royal Rumble 2023, Sami Zayn finally snapped and betrayed Roman Reigns, following which Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa would destroy Zayn while Jey Uso walked out. Jey Uso would go on to miss a few programming before showing up on the March 6th episode of RAW where he sided with his brother Jimmy and super-kicked Zayn.

On the March 20th episode, Zayn reunited with Owens and challenged The Usos for the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championship. The two teams battled it out in the main event of Night One of WrestleMania Hollywood. The hard-hitting contest saw the challengers bag the win bringing an end to the 622-day title reign of The Usos. The animosity between the two parties continued following the event and The Usos teamed up with Solo Sikoa to take on Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, and Matt Riddle at WWE Backlash 2023 in a Six Man Tag Team Match. The brothers came out victorious in the match.

Following the event, Solo Sikoa and Reigns challenged for the tag team titles at Night of Champions 2023. The Usos interfered and tried to attack Sami Zayn but accidentally super kicked Solo Sikoa infuriating Roman Reigns. Jimmy Uso lost his temper at this and attacked Reigns leaving The Bloodline. He was officially kicked out of the group by Sikoa and Reigns the following night.

A few weeks later, Jey Uso made his decision and sided by his brother Jimmy. He made his decision known to the world by super-kicking Reigns.
