The Usos appear to have responded to Andrade El Idolo after the AEW National Champion questioned WWE’s treatment of Samoan and Mexican wrestlers.
Andrade recently discussed what he sees as an imbalance in the opportunities given to talent from the two backgrounds, arguing that some Samoan wrestlers receive repeated chances to establish themselves while Mexican performers are given far less room to succeed.
The Usos did not mention Andrade by name, but their post on X came shortly after his comments and appeared to address the argument directly. Jimmy and Jey Uso wrote:
“We draw. That’s the difference between us and them. Stop (expletive) and do sum shi.”
The duo followed it up with another message that made it clear they were speaking broadly rather than naming a specific wrestler.
“Thats to all yall mfs. 🩸”
The timing of the posts has led to speculation that the former Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions were responding to Andrade. However, neither Uso explicitly identified him in the posts.

Andrade’s comments came while he was discussing several Mexican wrestlers he believes were never given enough of an opportunity in WWE. He specifically brought up Santos Escobar, Angel Garza and Berto while reflecting on his own time with the company.
The former WWE United States Champion acknowledged that his argument could be viewed as controversial before making a distinction regarding Roman Reigns. Andrade said “the OTC” earned his place at the top, but argued that other Samoan wrestlers have continued receiving opportunities despite not reaching the same level.
Explaining why he believes some wrestlers are given more chances than others, Andrade said WWE can continue investing in performers when it decides they are going to become stars.
“When WWE wants to push you, they will push you, it’s that simple. There are wrestler who have been given a chance WWE about 20 or 30 times and they still push them until they become stars. It doesn’t matter how bad you are because they want to make you a star. I feel that I never got to be given the opportunity, they never gave me a chance.”
Andrade then pointed to the limited opportunities he believes Mexican wrestlers have received. He praised Garza and Berto’s abilities while also arguing that Santos Escobar never received the kind of sustained opportunity needed to establish himself as a top WWE star.
“Both of them have charisma, they have everything to be superstars in WWE. Why don’t they give them the opportunity? They haven’t given them the chance. Escobar (Santos Escobar) never had the opportunity.”
Andrade’s broader point was that performing well during limited television appearances was not enough to change his position on the roster. He said he always tried to make the most of whatever time he was given but felt WWE never committed to making him a top-level star.
His comments have now drawn an apparent response from The Usos, who have spent much of their careers as one of WWE’s most successful tag teams. Jimmy and Jey have won multiple tag team championships and both have also established themselves as singles performers.
