WWE Addresses False Reports of Jimmy Uso’s Death Amid Outrage from Roman Reigns, Triple H, and Bloodline

In a shocking turn of events, WWE was forced to issue an official statement on May 10, 2025, to debunk rampant rumors claiming that Jimmy Uso, one-half of the legendary Usos tag team, had passed away. The false reports sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, prompting outrage from WWE, Triple H, Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Rikishi, and the entire Bloodline faction. The misinformation, which spread rapidly across social media platforms, caused widespread distress among fans and the Anoa’i family.

The rumors appear to have originated from a malicious hoax on X, falsely alleging that Jimmy Uso, real name Jonathan Fatu, had died in a tragic accident. The fabricated story gained traction due to the emotional weight of the Bloodline storyline and Jimmy’s recent absence from WWE programming following a brutal on-screen attack by Gunther on Monday Night RAW. This storyline saw Jimmy bloodied and zip-tied, fueling speculation about his status. However, WWE quickly clarified that Jimmy Uso is alive and well, condemning the spread of such harmful misinformation.

“WWE is aware of the false reports regarding Jimmy Uso’s passing. These claims are entirely untrue, and we urge fans to rely on verified sources for information. Jimmy is safe, and we are working to address this matter. We appreciate the concern and support from our fans,” the official WWE statement read on their website and social media channels.

Triple H, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, took to X to express his fury, stating, “The spread of lies about Jimmy Uso is disgusting and unacceptable. He’s a vital part of our family, and we’re all behind him. Trust official channels, not rumors.” Roman Reigns, the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion and cousin to the Usos, echoed this sentiment, posting, “My family is hurting from this nonsense. Jimmy is here, and we’re stronger than ever. Stop the lies.”

Jey Uso, Jimmy’s twin brother and the current World Heavyweight Champion, shared an emotional message: “My brother is my heart. Seeing this fake news breaks us, but we ain’t down. Jimmy’s good, and we’ll show the world what the Usos are about at WrestleMania 41.” Rikishi, their father and a WWE Hall of Famer, condemned the hoax on his Rikishi Fatu Off The Top podcast, saying, “This is low, even for the internet. My son is alive, and I’m proud of both Jimmy and Jey. Don’t mess with our family.”

The Bloodline, though fragmented in storyline with Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu leading a new faction, united in their condemnation of the rumors. Fans rallied behind the family, trending hashtags like #JimmyUsoLives and #BloodlineStrong on X. WWE is reportedly investigating the source of the hoax, with potential legal action against those responsible.

This incident underscores the dangers of misinformation in the digital age, especially concerning beloved figures like Jimmy Uso. As the wrestling world breathes a sigh of relief, fans eagerly await Jimmy’s return to the ring, where he and Jey continue to cement their legacy as one of WWE’s greatest tag teams.
