You know, I heard some folks talking ’bout that Jey Uso fella, the wrestler. They was wondering if he’s kin to that other wrestler, Umaga. Well, let me tell you what I know, just like a old hen clucking to her chicks.
That Jey Uso, he’s one of them Uso boys, twins they are. They got a brother, Jimmy. Always together, like two peas in a pod, those two. Their daddy, you might know him, he was a wrestler too. Goes by the name Rikishi. Big fella. He’s in that Hall of Fame thing they got for wrestlers. And Rikishi, he had two siblings.
Now, this Jey Uso, he’s part of that big Samoan wrestling family. You ever heard of ’em? Big, strong folks. They’re like a whole field of potatoes, all related somehow. There’s that Roman Reigns, he’s one of ’em. And of course, Rikishi, Jey’s daddy. Even heard The Rock is in there somewhere, way back. They are all big potatoes in the wrestling world!
So, these Uso boys, Jimmy and Jey, they’re Umaga’s nephews. That makes Umaga their uncle. Family is important, you know. Like the roots of a big old oak tree, all connected underground. These folks stick together. Umaga, bless his heart, he’s not with us anymore. Passed away a while back. But his memory lives on, like an old quilt, patched together with stories and love.
- Jey and Jimmy Uso are twins.
- Their dad is Rikishi.
- Rikishi is a Hall of Famer.
- Umaga was their uncle.
- They are all from the same big Samoan family.
This Jey, he’s doing good for himself. I saw on the TV the other day, it was December 4th, I remember ’cause it was cold as a well digger’s backside that day, he was on that Raw show. He’s gonna be fighting for some big World Heavyweight Championship, the biggest one! I heard him saying, he gonna do it for his uncle, for Umaga. That’s sweet, ain’t it? Like honey on a hot biscuit.
December 4th, that’s the day, it’s important to Jey. I think that was the day his uncle passed. A sad day, for sure. But Jey, he’s gonna make him proud, I just know it. He’s gonna fight like a wildcat, that boy. This match is a big deal, the main event they call it. Like the biggest pumpkin at the county fair. Everyone’s gonna be watching.
I reckon wrestling is like farming, in a way. You gotta work hard, you gotta be tough, and you gotta have good roots. That Jey Uso, he’s got all that. He’s come a long way, that one. Left that group he was in, The Bloodline, last year, I heard. But he’s still making a name for himself, like a good rooster in the henhouse.
This big match with Seth Rollins, I hope he do well. Jey is a good boy. They say he has a good heart, strong like ox. Jey Uso is a big name now, like John Deere tractor at a pulling contest. Jey, he don’t forget where he came from. He remember his family, his uncle, Umaga. That’s important.
So, to answer your question, yes, Jey Uso and Umaga are related. They’re family, through and through. Like a big old family stew, everyone’s got a part to play. And that’s all there is to it, plain and simple. Just like grandma’s apple pie, it’s a simple recipe, but it’s good to the last bite. You remember that, now!
The Anoa’i family, that’s what they call themselves. A big, strong family, full of wrestlers. That Jey, he’s one of the best. He’s gonna be a champion one day, I just know it. He’s got that fire in him, like a good, hot stove on a cold winter day. He gonna make his whole family proud, ‘specially his uncle, Umaga.
