4 Ups & 4 Downs For WWE Raw (27 Oct - Results & Review)

3. The Usos Are Brothers?

Newsflash: Jimmy and Jey Uso are actual, real-life twin brothers, not storyline siblings. You might not realize that, given how they interact on Raw. They often are wooden and forced, as if they’re unfamiliar with each other, which is insane to even consider possible.

Monday night, Jimmy confronted Jey backstage over the Yeet Man’s comments earlier about how he was on his own, despite Jimmy saving him twice during the battle royal last week before Jey dumped him out. Jimmy sounded like he was reading his remarks off a cue card, having waited seven days to catch up with his brother about something that had him royally pissed at the end of Raw last week.

Later, Jey apologized, similarly reading off a cue card to acknowledge that Jimmy is his brother and he loves him.

Yes, wrestlers aren’t necessarily good actors, but when brothers can’t convincingly convey emotion between each other, you’ve got problems.
