Jimmy Uso returned to televised WWE in-ring competition during the May 16 SmackDown. He immediately entered a high-stakes triple threat match. This was his first contest since a violent sidelining earlier this year.
Before this return, Gunther had brutally assaulted Jimmy Uso. The attack happened on The Road to WrestleMania as Jimmy attempted to motivate his brother, Jey Uso, leaving him busted open. Though he later appeared supporting Jey, Jimmy had not wrestled on television since the incident.
In his comeback match, Jimmy Uso vied for a Money in the Bank qualifying spot. He battled Solo Sikoa and Rey Fenix. Though Jimmy showcased his capabilities when pushed, interferences significantly impacted the bout’s direction.
