9 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (April 25)
4. Uce! Uce! Hey Uce!
Maybe Jimmy and Jey Uso talk like this in real life, but listening to them interact with cousin Roman Reigns was painful, as if Uce was their form of using like in a sentence to hold the lines together.
Of course, Uso is not just Jimmy and Jeys last name, its the Samoan word for brother or sister, often used as a sign of respect even if not related. So it makes perfect sense that the Usos would call their cousin Uce as they rallied together.
However, the tag team brothers used the term five times in a 45-second segment. It was in nearly every sentence they uttered, as if that was all they could muster. This is coming as a fan of the Usos in the ring and someone who enjoyed their work. But when you throw term out there over and over and over, it just feels forced. (Throw in Romans one versus all catchphrase, and you have a painful segment.)
These are cousins. Youd think their interactions would feel more natural and easy-going, but somehow, this felt forced, like they were trying to convince everyone they were related.
