“Oh s***. Oh s***. I’m sitting in the ring, and I’m telling you, when I pushed him off, I just watched him. Oh s***. Oh s***. I won the Royal Rumble.”
Cena wasn’t the only notable name Jey Uso eliminated to win the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match. Along the road to victory, the ‘Main Event’ star tossed out United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and former Bloodline ally Sami Zayn.
