On the latest episode of SmackDown, it was confirmed that The Usos will not be a part of the WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 proceedings. As per the storyline, Jimmy and Jey Uso were ordered by Roman Reigns to stay home for the event on February 18. However, the real reason for their absence is connected to their past legal issues.
After initial worries about Jey Uso's status on the blue brand, The Right Hand Man eventually returned to team up with Jimmy Uso. They retained their SmackDown Tag Team Titles against Braun Strowman and Ricochet. Despite their stellar title defense, Paul Heyman met the duo backstage and informed them that The Tribal Chief didn't want The Usos for WWE Elimination Chamber 2023.
It was a great way to showcase the deepening of the cracks in The Bloodline's armor. The company also managed to plot a scenario for their absence. According to reports, The Usos can't be a part of the WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 event in Montreal, Canada, due to their DUI history.
