Jimmy Uso is currently written off WWE TV to deal with personal/family issues, primarily related to his wife Naomi’s high‑risk pregnancy; he is not injured or in legal trouble, and WWE expects him to return to action in the near future once these matters are settled.

Why He’s Not on TV Right Now

Jimmy Uso has not appeared on WWE TV since early January 2026, and he also skipped WWE’s recent European tour. On the January 26, 2026 episode of Monday Night RAW in Toronto, commentator Michael Cole explicitly said that Jimmy “isn’t here, he’s dealing with personal issues” when explaining why Jey Uso was appearing alone as part of the reigning World Tag Team Champions.

WWE has not publicly shared details beyond “personal reasons,” but multiple wrestling outlets report that this absence is tied to family matters, specifically the high‑risk pregnancy of his wife, Naomi, a former WWE superstar.

Naomi’s Pregnancy Context

Naomi announced in late 2025 that she and Jimmy were expecting a baby boy, and her pregnancy has been described behind the scenes as high‑risk, meaning doctors have advised extra caution and close monitoring. Because of this, Jimmy has chosen to stay close to home and not travel with WWE on long tours like the European swing or the planned Saudi Arabia trip, so he can be there for Naomi and their unborn child.

This is why WWE has not booked him in matches or segments during this period, and why he did not appear at the Royal Rumble event, which he was scheduled to miss.

Is He Hurt?

There were initial rumors that Jimmy Uso might be injured, but journalist Dave Meltzer (Wrestling Observer) clarified that Jimmy did not go on the European tour for family reasons, not because of a physical injury. WWE’s own on‑air explanation (“personal reasons”) and the reporting from major outlets like Sportskeeda and WrestleZone support that this is a non‑kayfabe (real‑life) absence for family/health concerns, not a wrestling injury.

What’s Happening With The Usos’ Titles?

The Usos are the current WWE World Tag Team Champions, but Jimmy’s absence has temporarily left Jey Uso representing the titles alone. On the January 26 RAW, WWE held a Fatal Four‑Way match among New Day, Alpha Academy, Los Americanos, and American Made to crown new #1 contenders for the Usos’ titles, signaling that the belts will be defended soon once Jimmy is back.

WWE has not set a return date, but the general expectation is that Jimmy will reappear when WWE is back in the U.S. and Naomi’s situation stabilizes, likely in the coming weeks or after the baby’s birth.

What About Old Rumors?

There were viral rumors in 2024 that Jimmy Uso had died or was seriously ill, but those were false and quickly debunked by WWE and wrestling media. He has a past DUI arrest (2019), but no new legal issues have surfaced in 2026, and his current absence is solely about family and Naomi’s pregnancy.

What’s Expected Next?

Fan and media speculation is that Jimmy Uso will take a short-term break from active competition to support Naomi through this high‑risk pregnancy, then return to WWE TV and the Usos’ tag team run once she is through the critical phase. His return is expected before any major title defenses or long overseas tours, once the personal situation is resolved.
