6 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (March 15 - Results & Review)

2. This Should Be A Bigger Deal?

Jimmy Uso might as well have said 'sure' and left it at that. What should've been a super-heated build towards a match between warring siblings has turned into an afterthought before it happens. That isn't great. Jey's challenge and Jimmy's answer were both tepid, and Jim's brief promo on SmackDown summed it up.

That's kinda sad to see considering both brothers played such a massive part in The Bloodline's story. Uso vs. Uso was being talked about amongst fans almost immediately after WrestleMania last year, but it's somehow still coming across as a last-minute addition to the 'Mania 40 lineup. How did that happen?!

Weird.

Worse, both Usos have been squashed further down the chain of command by The Rock's arrival and everything going on above them. That's not Rocky's fault, but previously-hot issues like Jey vs. Jimmy now seem so weak compared to interest last summer (for example).
