* Two years after being left off Wrestlemania, one year after retaining the Intercontinental Title but having to give it up due to Covid, and eighteen years after their first match together, Sami and Kevin had their Wrestlemania moment. In several interviews (both in and semi-out of character), Sami acknowledges how amazing it is that they're finally getting their chance to perform at Wrestlemania together.
* For the 9/23/22 episode of ''[=SmackDown=]'', Wrestling/RomanReigns looks like he's about to purge the Bloodline--- his stable of relatives from the Anoa'i Wrestling Family--- of Sami who has operated as a hanger-on and and calling himself an "honorary Uce". Roman has Jey Uso rip the Bloodline shirt right off Sami's back and tells him he never wants to see Sami wear a Bloodline shirt again... because he got him a new one instead. Roman then tosses Sami a shirt declaring him "HONORARY UCE" and embraces him as a member of the team. While everyone knows there's no way Sami and the Bloodline will live happily ever after, the look of sheer elation and joy in Sami as he's accepted by the Tribal Chief is genuinely heartwarming.
* At the Wrestling/RoyalRumble, after watching Roman demolish KO and Wrestling/TheBloodline engage in a post-match beatdown, Sami's final test is made clear: Roman hands him a chair and tells him to finish KO off. At the last moment, Sami chooses KO over his new family, knowing it'll get him beaten down. Also crosses into Tearjerker as Jey Uso, who'd vouched for Sami just five days ago at Raw is XXX is ''devastated'' by Sami's choice.
