Before The Usos, Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy, and Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart are the two matches in this category to happen at The Grandest Stage of Them All. So, let’s dive deep into these matches and take a look at how these highly personal rivalries turned out to be at the WrestleMania stage.
Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart at WrestleMania X
The first ever match between two brothers in WrestleMania history took place on March 20, 1994, at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York. This bout was between Bret Hart and Owen Hart, as they went one-on-one against each other at the WrestleMania X event.
In the initial moments of the match, neither of them gained an advantage, as both of them were fully determined to come out on top. But after some time, Owen was able to gain an advantage by using a camel clutch. Later, he performed suplexes and a Tombstone piledriver. But after some time, Bret suffered a kayfabe injury to his knee, which helped his brother capitalize.
Later, Owen Hart applied the Sharpshooter to Bret Hart, which was countered by his brother as he performed a Sharpshooter of his own. The Canadian-born star then attempted to end the match with a victory roll, but Owen was able to block it and pin Bret to win the match, marking an iconic moment in his WWE career.
The Hardy Boyz fought each other at WrestleMania 25
Popular for their work as tag team partners, The Hardy Boyz, Jeff Hardy, and Matt Hardy fought each other at WrestleMania 25. Their encounter at the April 5, 2009, event was the Extreme Rules Match, which took place at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. Amid the high-flying skills of both performers, their match was memorable in more than one way.
From dangerous spots to different weapon-based attacks and spectacular in-ring chemistry between the two stars, the bout was extraordinary. Jeff attempted a 16-foot ladder leap during the match, which resulted in his crash. It resulted in Matt pinning his brother to win, as his mission to conquer his brother was completed at The Showcase of the Immortals.
Who among Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso is likely to win at WrestleMania 40?
While the previous two brother-versus-brother matches were won by the heel participants, this time is different. In all likelihood, Main Event Jey Uso is being considered the likely winner for the highly anticipated WrestleMania 40 match against Jimmy Uso.
A major reason why this is what the WWE Universe believes is the way Jey has transformed into a megastar in the past few months. The Monday Night RAW star has all the crowd support, and the kind of aura he has built is absolutely insane. In fact, the way the audience gets involved in his entrance shows how much they love him.
With long-time speculation about a possible title reign for the fan-favorite performer, the company might finally do so after WrestleMania 2024. If that’s the case, the Triple H-led promotion would want to continue Jey’s hot run, for which he would most probably win at The Show of Shows. Do you also feel the same?
