Heartwarming / The Usos

Go To

  • Before winning the titles, the Usos declared in a WWE Magazine article that said victory would be dedicated to their family and fellow Samoans, first and foremost being their late uncle Umaga, the man who they seem to take after the most in their wrestling style. And then it happened on March 3rd in Chicago.
  • On the October 23rd episode of Smackdown, after beating AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan, The Usos dedicate their win to their cousin, Roman Reigns (which had come after his leukemia announcement).
  • On the 26 March 2019 episode of SmackDown, Xavier Woods and Big E of The New Day were forced to compete in a Tag-team Gauntlet Match, with the stipulation that winning it will allow Kofi Kingston to battle Daniel Bryan for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 35. The Usos appeared as one of their opponents (their second-to-last, even, since Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan would have to fight after this) but they chose to forfeit the match, saying that Kofi already earned their respect, and wishing both Woods and Big E good luck for the last opponent.
    ''"Good luck uce! Cause we forfeit."
  • Jimmy’s warmth towards Sami Zayn definitely fits this despite being heels in the Bloodline. Their special handshake especially is adorable.
  • After months of antipathy towards Sami, Jey finally embraces Sami at the end of their 2022 War Games match when Sami chose the Bloodline over Kevin Owens, giving him a huge hug. The next night on Raw, Sami thanks Jey for finally accepting him, extending his hand in friendship. Jey’s response is to slap Sami’s hand away and go in for another hug.
    • Sami's Undying Loyalty to Jimmy, Jey and the rest of The Bloodline comes back around when when Jey, of all people, stops Solo's "execution" of Sami and comes to his defense during "Tribal Court" on RAW's 30th anniversary, citing several times when Sami took the bullet for him and the rest of his family, set up probably the faction's biggest win as an unit in the War Games at Survivor Series, and endured all the crap and distrust Jey himself had put Sami through. As Jey summed it up:
      Jey: "That right there, that's what family do...hey, Sami Zayn, I love you like a brother, uce, 100!"
      • It should be noted Jey doesn’t come to Sami’s defense on a whim. When he cites the times Sami has pulled through for the Bloodline, he rolls a video package he states he made the night before with defense exhibits to match the package Paul Heyman used in his prosecution, showing Jey went into this Tribal Court PREPARED to defend Sami if it came down to it.
  • Jimmy proving at Night of Champions 2023 that his loyalty to Jey will always, always win out over his fear of Roman, brutally superkicking his own cousin for finally bullying Jey one too many times.
  • Jey's debut on Raw after walking out of SmackDown. The first person to welcome him to the roster? Former Honorary Uce, Sami Zayn, simply expressing happiness that he was on Raw after finally freeing himself from the toxic influence of his family, culminating in the arena coming unglued as the two share a hug the fans were waiting all year for.
  • In his post-backstage interview at Backlash 2024, Jey talks about the entrance the Lyon, France crowd gave him through the use of Bray Wyatt's "fireflies", in which he acknowledge how he hadn't seen those since Bray's passing and was in awe with how France was showering him with so much love.
