Jimmy Uso is currently on a hiatus from WWE. His most recent match came at WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Jey Uso in their first-ever showdown. During the fallout episode of SmackDown after The Show of Shows, Solo Sikoa blamed Jimmy for his loss and ultimately kicked him out of The Bloodline with the assistance of Tama Tonga, who made his debut in the Stamford-based promotion on the same night.
For those wondering about Jimmy's absence since that segment, it is due to his undisclosed injury. This injury was also the primary reason why he was not part of the 2024 WWE Draft.
Reports of his injury emerged after he was kicked out of The Bloodline. However, the specifics and severity of the injury remain undisclosed and there is no confirmed timeline for his return to WWE programming.

Despite the limited information about Jimmy's injury, it appears to be legitimate. Additionally, the segment featuring his expulsion from The Bloodline seems to have been a storyline angle to facilitate his absence from television.
Amid this situation, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi recently posted a picture with Jimmy, praying for his son's recovery as can be seen in the post's caption above. This further indicates that the 38-year-old star is currently dealing with a real-life injury.
Why Jimmy Uso must return to WWE in Saudi Arabia?
Given the uncertainty surrounding Jimmy Uso's return to WWE, there are significant reasons why the 38-year-old star should make his comeback in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, next week.
If Jimmy returns on SmackDown next week, he could cost Tama Tonga his 2024 King of the Ring tournament's semifinal match against Randy Orton. This move would not only escalate the drama within The Bloodline but would also allow the Stamford-based company to put Orton in the finals of the 2024 King of the Ring tournament without hampering the momentum of the Samoan faction.
This scenario would also set the stage for Jimmy Uso's possible babyface turn, potentially leading to an alliance with Roman Reigns, who could also return as a babyface. The motivation behind Jimmy's probable interference is clear as Tama Tonga, along with Solo Sikoa, was instrumental in kicking out Uso of The Bloodline. The former RAW Tag Team Champion would undoubtedly try to seek revenge for that assault.
For those unaware, the upcoming episode of Friday Night SmackDown will be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where Randy Orton and Tama Tonga will clash in the semifinals of the 2024 King of the Ring tournament.
It will be engaging to see whether Jimmy Uso makes his much-anticipated return to WWE next week and whether he will cost Tama Tonga his match against The Viper.
