Jey Uso stunned the world by winning the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match, earning himself headline spot at WrestleMania 41. Uso’s victory was particularly surprising as he eliminated John Cena in the WWE icon’s final Royal Rumble match to clinch the win.
In a recent interview with Daniel Cormier, Jey reflected on the biggest win of his career to date. Jey shared that he only learned of WWE’s plans for him to win the day of the Royal Rumble match.
“I was humbled, man. As soon as they told me it was me—yeah, they told me like halfway through the day on Saturday—I was like, ‘Man, really?‘”
Jey learned of his victory in a meeting of the final four in the match, himself, Cena, Logan Paul, and CM Punk. After learning of his impending victory, Jey shared the news with his brothers and was pleased that he’d surprise fans later in the day.
When asked, Jey revealed that he’s not gone out of his way to watch his Rumble victory, but hasn’t escaped seeing clips of his moment on X. The 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble shared that though the monumental victory has yet to set in, he believes that will come soon enough.
“It hasn’t locked in yet. I think, when I go home tomorrow and then everything calms down, I’m back home with the family. I feel like that’s when I’ll be sitting in my living room and you know, just, yeah.”
Jey was confronted by World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER during Raw, and will travel to SmackDown to speak with WWE Champion Cody Rhodes on February 7. ‘Main Event’ Jey has a golden opportunity ahead of him, with fans excited to see what’s to come.
