    Jimmy Uso sustained an injury during the climactic Men's WarGames match at Survivor Series 2024 while attempting one of the night's most daring moves. Although the crowd erupted, the impact came at a personal cost as he suffered a broken toe during the landing.

    In the heat of the match, the wrestler launched himself from the top of the massive WarGames cage, crashing down onto Jacob Fatu through a table below. The injury wasn't immediately obvious, as he continued wrestling despite visible signs of pain.

    The injury occurred as he leapt from the elevated structure and landed feet-first onto an opponent lying across a table inside the ring. Jimmy's high-flying manoeuvre maximised crowd reaction and shifted match momentum.

    Therefore, he climbed to the top of the cage, around 15 feet high, before launching himself onto Jacob Fatu, who was positioned on a table. Unfortunately, while the move hit its mark, the table didn't fully collapse as expected, causing a misaligned landing that broke one of his toes.

    The injury was legitimate but considered relatively minor compared to some other accidents during professional wrestling. Despite the severe injury, he displayed remarkable resilience by continuing to participate in the match.

    It wasn't until after the event that Jey Uso confirmed the full extent of the injury during the Survivor Series press conference, revealing:

    Jimmy broke his toe during the splash off the cage.

    He was brutally assaulted by Gunther and was left all bloodied. In a separate incident, Jimmy was involved in a storyline attack by Gunther on the March 31, 2025 episode of WWE. After defeating Jimmy in a non-title match, Gunther continued his attack post-match, applying a sleeper hold on him.

    Jimmy's brother, Jey Uso, intervened to assist, but Gunther overpowered him, zip-tying Jey to the ring ropes, rendering him helpless. With Jey restrained, Gunther viciously struck Jimmy with the championship belt, leaving him bloodied and incapacitated.

    While some reports suggest he received 15 stitches for this injury, others indicate that the bleeding was part of a scripted event, commonly known as a "blade job," designed to enhance the storyline leading up to WrestleMania 41.

    Jimmy is back in great health after the broken toe and storyline injury and has returned to WWE programming. The American wrestler returned on the April 21 episode of WWE Raw, where he joined his brother Jey Uso and Sami Zayn in celebrating Jey's World Heavyweight Championship victory.
