Having seemingly been kicked out of the Bloodline on the SmackDown after WrestleMania XL, Jimmy Uso is currently dealing with an injury.

Via Fightful Select, Jimmy is sidelined with an undisclosed injury that will keep him out of this year's Draft Pool. Of course, the 2024 WWE Draft starts on tomorrow night's SmackDown and concludes on next week's Raw, and the eight-time Tag Team Champion will not be a part of this annual shake-up.

As alluded to, there are no specifics on Uso's injury or on how long he's expected to be out of action.

For those who may have missed it, Jimmy Uso was taken out by Solo Sikoa and the debuting Tama Tonga on the 12 April edition of SmackDown. Right now, it's not known whether Solo went into business for himself, whether he was operating under the instruction of Roman Reigns, or maybe if he was carrying out work ordered by The Rock. Either way, it's added a new caveat to the ever-developing Bloodline saga, with Jacob Fatu another recently signed to WWE and expected to debut soon as part of this story.
