10 Most Devastating WWE Superstar Injuries Of 2015
8. Jey Uso
Although this was no longer a problem as of the November 2 edition when the Usos made their return as a team, for the better part of 2015 they were sorely missed in WWEs tag team division. The Usos are one of the most popular and enjoyable tag teams in WWE. Theyre charismatic, athletic, and generally fun to watch. But the problem with them is that because theyre identical twins, its virtually impossible for either one to carve out a singles career without harming the other. Conversely, if one Uso gets injured, theres nothing the other can do, and thats exactly what happened shortly after WrestleMania. With Jey out, Jimmy couldnt wrestle long-term without his brother, and was soon taken off TV. This led to both Jey AND Jimmy being off TV for an extended period, meaning that both Usos werent making any money due to ones injury. This also left a void in the Tag Team Division, as it took many months for other teams (especially the New Day) to become more popular with the audience. In fact, for a few months, there was barely anything exciting happening in the tag team division at all, and it wasnt until The Dudleyz returned that things really changed. Thankfully, the Usos are now back and can put on more great tag team matches and inject a little more interest into the division.
