What's the story?

As reported by PWInsider (via Cagesideseats.com), The Usos' (Jimmy and Jey) deal with the WWE ends in late April and the company is currently in talks with the former Tag Team Champions to ensure they re-sign.

They have also reported that WWE has made "a strong play" to retain AJ Styles and that the negotiations are still on. Dolph Ziggler, on the other hand, will likely stick with the company per the source.

In case you didn't know...

The contracts for the above-mentioned Superstars are up soon and WWE is trying their best to re-sign all of their talents, especially with the threat of AEW looming on their heads.

Former WWE Champion Dean Ambrose has made it clear already that he will not be re-signing with WWE once his deal is up. There have also been rumours regarding other top WWE Superstars that have been offered a deal by AEW.

The heart of the matter

With the possibility of a mass exodus, WWE will have to ensure that The Usos, as well as AJ Styles, continue their partnership with them, as a loss of these three top Superstars will be a massive blow to the company.

AJ Styles has become a cornerstone of SmackDown and will likely become the hottest free agent in case he does not re-sign with WWE. The same can be said about The Usos and WWE's Tag Team division.

What's next?

AJ Styles is set to face Daniel Bryan and four others inside the Elimination Chamber at the ppv, whereas The Usos will take on the current Smackdown Tag Team Champions Shane McMahon and The Miz for their championships at the show.

Do you think The Usos and AJ Styles should stay with the WWE or possibly join the upcoming promotion AEW? Tell us in the comments!
