Not only have the WWE not punished Jimmy but they also featured him all through the recent episode of SmackDown. According to Dave Meltzer on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, this is because the Uso are deemed too important to the plans they have in mind for a potential Wrestlemania angle between Roman Reigns and The Rock.
“There is stuff in the plans that they feel is far too important and they don’t want it screwed up and that’s the answer. You would think, third [DUI], bad look — gotta pretend it didn’t happen.”
SmackDown ended on Friday with Edge laying out both Jey and Jimmy Uso while Roman Reigns watched from the ramp.
