The era of The Bloodline saga marked a significant turning point for The Usos, as both Jimmy and Jey developed distinct individual identities on WWE programming. Prior to this period, fans often struggled to differentiate between the twins due to their similar appearance and presentation.
Naomi discussed this topic during an appearance on WittyWhittier’s YouTube channel, sharing a memorable incident where she mistook Jey for her husband Jimmy. The mix-up occurred during their early WWE career when the twins maintained more similar appearances.
Yes. There was one. It was real quick, and I wasn’t paying attention. Earlier in their careers, they [The Usos] used to look a lot more alike… Now, they have very distinctive tattoos and stuff, and they look different. There was one time when they were in the hallway, and I was talking to somebody, and I turned around and hit Joshua [Jey] on the b*tt. I thought it was John [Jimmy], and they both turned around, and I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ They still mess with me about that, and I was so mortified and disgusted.
The incident predates the twins’ current distinctive appearances, which now feature unique tattoos and individual styling that make them more easily distinguishable.
