8 Most Talented Wrestlers WWE Refuse To Push

3. The Usos

Ex-WWE writer Brad Shephard wondered aloud on his podcast this week why Jimmy and Jey Uso are so consistently overlooked. Shephard claimed to have inside knowledge from company sources saying the siblings are in the doghouse for...some reason. He didn't specify that reason.

Follow SmackDown closely enough though and you'd come to the same conclusions. The Usos have been so entertaining since ditching the face paints and launching their 'Uso Penitentiary' gimmick, and their feud with New Day last year was super-heated. All that success, including organically turning babyface when fans realised how great the pair are, hasn't done them much good.

Look at Survivor Series for proof that the Uso curse continues.

Jimmy and Jey captained their team on the Kickoff show, won it, then WWE dissed the result by refusing to factor it into the Raw vs. SmackDown tally for the night. On top of that senseless disrespect, they've been pushed to the background regardless of how hard they work or the booming responses audiences give them.
