The Usos have been achieving success in the tag team division for years now, and during their early days they often wore bright colors and face paint. But when it came time for The Usos to turn heel they switched up their look and swapped out the bright colors for black outfits.
Recently The Usos talked about their heel turn on The New Day: Feel The Power podcast and during the show Jey Uso talked about some of the pushback they received from WWE when they were trying to make changes.
“Yeah, use [there was resistance to Usos giving up the face paint]. Obviously, for the heel change, we needed to change everything, but they were saying when they had first seen us working in all black, it was like, ‘you guys look too much like Roman. Don’t look like Roman.’ ‘Man, who the hell else are we supposed to look like? We’re in the same gene pool, uce.’
Like, we fought to get that [face paint] off. They wanted us to keep it, but in my mind it wasn’t going to work. There was no way we could get away from that. Like, we were colorful, but then we had to get completely away from that. ‘They can’t tell who y’all are without the face paint.’ You know how that is.”
The Usos and Roman Reigns now go hand in hand nowadays as The Bloodline has become one of the most dominant factions in WWE with no signs of slowing down. Have you enjoyed The Bloodline’s run? Sound off in the comments below.
