Jimmy Uso has been gone from the WWE for quite some time.
After Roman Reigns lost to Cody Rhodes and Jimmy to his twin brother, Jey Uso, at WrestleMania 40, Jimmy was removed from the Bloodline by his other brother, Solo Sikoa.
Since then, Jimmy hasn't been seen on WWE television. According to Fightful Select, this is because he's been suffering from an undisclosed injury.

While fans around the world have been wishing Jimmy the best and eagerly anticipating his return, a strange update has caused confusion and concern in the internet wrestling community.

Earlier today, Jimmy Uso's father, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, shared a post on X asking for prayers for his son.
"Dear GOD," Rikishi said. "[Praying] for strength & health to continue. ... Stay prayed for my boy, [Jonathan Fatu]."
His comment was shared with a video of Jimmy and a voiceover saying a prayer:
"Dear God, grant me the strength I need to continue on this journey, give me hope and endurance in the face of difficulty. I rely on your guidance, strength and love to help me in times of trouble. Remind me that I am capable of getting through anything that comes my way."
This has led to multiple fans offering their prayers to Jimmy. However, it also prompted an important question: What happened to Jimmy Uso?!?!
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, nothing.
"In following up with people in WWE, they say that they've spoken to Jimmy Uso, who says he's fine," Sapp said. "I don't have any further context beyond that."
While many fans were happy to hear that Jimmy was doing alright, it prompted just as much confusion regarding why Rikishi would post what he posted, with some even accusing the elder Fatu of using his son for attention.
However, X user ThatLovelyRose noted that it could be Jimmy dealing with personal issues that have popped up in the past.
"I hope it's not a case of Jimmy hiding his demons from others and suffering internally," ThatLovelyRose said. "That usually feels like the case whenever something cryptic like Rikishi's tweet comes out."
Specifically, they are referring to the multiple times Jimmy had been charged with DUI. Additionally, there was an incident where he was charged with disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice.
No matter what's going on with Jimmy Uso, everyone is hoping that he takes care of himself and makes his WWE return soon.
