Jey Uso knows he has a lot to prove at WrestleMania 41.
The Bloodline member received mixed reactions online after winning the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match. Many people questioned the decision to put him ahead of other participants of the bout like CM Punk, John Cena and Drew McIntyre.
Uso acknowledged his doubters during a recent interview with CBS Sports. He noted that a lot of fans don’t believe him to be the right choice for the world title picture heading into Mania and Jey is determined to prove them wrong:
“This is do or die for me, I feel like I am doubted a lot. A lot of people are doubting me right now, Uce. I’m not supposed to be in this position. I know that. They know that. But I’m going to shut them all up.”
One of the big arguments against Jey Uso’s opportunity against World Champion Gunther is the lack of memorable singles performances. The Yeet Man got a chance to prove himself last year when he squared off against brother Jimmy Uso at WrestleMania 40 in what many considered a dream match.
The bout, however, ended up being a disappointment after time was cut from the match. After the debacle of his last Mania performance, Jey is definitely feeling the pressure to redeem himself:
“I always thought we put on great matches. If you look at it, we had great matches with The Wyatt Family, The Shield, The New Day. Now, I feel like I’ve had a couple of good matches but not ones that stick in people’s minds. This is redemption time on the big stage. The pressure is on.”
Though it’s not all bad for Jey Uso. Despite the online negativity, he continues to garner strong reactions from the crowd in arenas. Per the former IC Champion, people are rooting for him because they know where he comes from and he has grown in front of them.
A wedding reception recently took an electrifying turn when newlyweds made their grand entrance to WWE Superstar Jey Uso’s “Main Event Ish” theme song. As the iconic “YEET” catchphrase played, guests raised their phone lights in the darkened reception hall, just like a WWE crowd.
The wedding party preceded the couple in pairs, building anticipation. When the DJ finally announced the newlyweds, the room erupted with guests performing Jey Uso’s signature “”YEET handwave” gesture.
TikTok user @playwithjambo shared the video with the caption,
“my cousin and his wife walked into their wedding reception to jey uso’s intro and the entire reception yeeted for them ?”
my cousin and his wife walked into their wedding reception to jey uso’s intro and the entire reception yeeted for them 😭 @Jey Uso #uso#yeet#wee#maineventjeyuso#wedding#fyp
Guests enthusiastically participated in “YEET” chants as the couple made their way through a sea of phone lights, creating an unforgettable moment.
If you can find a partner that supports your love of professional wrestling, you’re in good shape. If they’ll agree to something like this, you’ve hit the jackpot!

Logan Paul didn’t hold back in a recent conversation with Michael Cole on his Impaulsive podcast, taking shots at CM Punk and continuing to make his case that he was using “Yeet” long before Jey Uso popularized it in WWE cannon.
Reflecting on his time in the ring with some of WWE’s biggest stars – including John Cena, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Jey Uso – Paul exuded his signature over-the-top confidence.
WWE Elimination Chamber 2025
While many might have felt out of place in such legendary company, The Maverick insists that wasn’t the case. When asked if he questioned his own place in the match, he scoffed at the idea and threw in a dig at CM Punk.
“Not at all, not at all,” Paul said. “I honestly was like, how the hell is CM Punk still here?”
The jab at Punk is especially notable given the former WWE Champion’s polarizing reputation. Punk returned to WWE in late 2023 after nearly a decade away, and Paul’s comment suggests he’s not entirely sold on the veteran’s staying power.
But Punk wasn’t the only target of Paul’s comments. He also laid claim to the popular wrestling catchphrase “Yeet,” which has become synonymous with Jey Uso.
“I was the original Yeet, by the way,” Paul declared, before adding that he had believed the phrase was “put in a bulletproof coffin” years ago.
Taking the joke further, Paul revealed he was “sending a cease-and-desist” to Jey Uso over the catchphrase.
While it’s clear Paul was speaking in jest, his comments are sure to stir conversation among wrestling fans. His rising presence in WWE continues to be a talking point, and whether it’s roasting veterans like Punk or claiming iconic catchphrases, Paul still knows how to keep himself at the center of attention.
WWE made it official on this week’s Monday Night Raw – Jey Uso will challenge GUNTHER at WrestleMania 41 for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. However, this matchup was not decided overnight.
According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, Uso’s Royal Rumble victory and GUNTHER’s selection as his opponent had been planned for quite some time—even before Saturday Night’s Main Event. The two last clashed at Saturday Night’s Main Event in January, where GUNTHER successfully retained his title in the main event.
Uso secured his WrestleMania title opportunity by winning the 2025 Royal Rumble. During Raw, Uso was making his entrance and “yeeting” on the announce table when GUNTHER launched a surprise attack from behind. This led to a brawl before Uso officially announced their WrestleMania showdown.
Despite having the option to challenge Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Uso has opted to pursue GUNTHER’s title. Although not confirmed, reports suggest that John Cena is expected to win Elimination Chamber and go on to challenge Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. If successful, Cena would break the all-time record for most World Heavyweight Championship reigns.
WrestleMania 41 will be a two-night event, taking place on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
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.
Jey Uso’s victory in the Men’s Royal Rumble has proven to be divisive, with some backing the popular star while others believe it should have gone to a bigger name. CM Punk was considered one of the favorites going into the Rumble match, and on the Good Guy/Bad Guy podcast, Punk expressed his delight in Jey’s surprising victory.
“Jey winning is fantastic. When you have somebody in there like John Cena that everyone is going to immediately assume, ‘LOL Cena is going to win.’“
Punk also brought up Charlotte Flair’s victory in the Women’s Royal Rumble, noting how many fans had predicted the Queen would become a two-time winner. Once again sharing that he is pleased that a surprise took place in the Men’s Rumble match, Punk acknowledged that pleasing everyone with a Royal Rumble win would’ve proven impossible.
“When there are 30 people in the Rumble, male or female, that is 30 fanbases, at least 29 fanbases, that are going to converge and hate whoever wins the Rumble.”
Whether fans love it, hate it, or are indifferent, Jey Uso is set to challenge for a World Championship at WrestleMania 41. As for CM Punk, his quest for a title match at WrestleMania 41 will see him enter next month’s Elimination Chamber match. With John Cena already announced and four spots left to fill inside the Chamber, Punk’s quest to a title match and a potential WrestleMania main event remains a tall order.
Jey Uso’s Men’s Royal Rumble match victory shocked fans, with some sharing their issues with the decision on social media. Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, Jey was asked for his response to the negative response to the biggest win of his WWE career.
“You don’t strap my boots every week… I’m in the trenches like everybody else man, I don’t pay no mind to that. I don’t need none of that… There’s a lot of haters out there and they talk it because they can’t walk it.”
Uso’s victory came at the expense of top talent including John Cena who many fans had predicted would be winning his final Royal Rumble match. Instead, the 16-time WWE World Champion hopes a victory inside the Men’s Elimination Chamber match will lead him to a title match at WrestleMania 41.
"That's their opinion and they're not strapping on my boots every week..
There's a lot of haters out there and they talk it because they can't walk it..
With his victory, Jey has earned himself a WrestleMania main event, either against World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER or Undisputed WWE Champion (and former tag-team partner) Cody Rhodes. After the Royal Rumble, Jey said he was going to become World Heavyweight Champion, teasing a rematch with the Ring General.
Jey will be on tonight’s edition of WWE Monday Night Raw where he’ll no-doubt address his surprising victory. No matter what some fans may say, Jey Uso is ready to prove his ‘Main Event’ moniker by competing for a World Championship at WrestleMania 41.
Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair have punched their tickets to WrestleMania 41 by winning this year’s Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble matches. Though these were historic wins for both Superstars, not every WWE fan is on board with what transpired in Lucas Oil Stadium.
On YouTube, WWE shared a clip of Flair becoming the first-ever two-time Women’s Royal Rumble winner. While this was a huge moment for Flair, the video has been met with thousands upon thousands of dislikes, far more than those who liked the video.
This response comes after years of fans taking issue with Flair’s booking, believing she is handed opportunities that others would benefit more from. WrestleMania 41 will mark Flair’s eigthth championship match at WrestleMania, a feat that many in WWE today have yet to accomplish even once.
The response to Jey Uso’s shocking win has also been mixed among fans. While some have praised WWE for giving a genuine surprise, many believe the spot was wasted on Jey. On X (formerly Twitter) fans shared their issue with Jey’s victory and Triple H’s booking.
No im sorry. I love Jey Uso. I really do.
But you had like 6 avenues to go down with all time potential matchups. And you chose the worst possible scenario. I’m so serious. #RoyalRumblepic.twitter.com/d8ZqWShunf
WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce has confirmed that both Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair will be on tonight’s show, likely to address their WrestleMania prospects. It remains to be seen what response the pair receive as many are far from pleased with this year’s Royal Rumble winners.
Jey Uso stunned the wrestling world by winning the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match, last eliminating John Cena to punch his WrestleMania 41 ticket. In his first interview appearance since his shocking victory, Jey told the Nightcap podcast what he was thinking at the moment of his victory.
“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.
What’s Next for Jey Uso?
With his victory, Jey has earned himself a WrestleMania main event, either against World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER or Undisputed WWE Champion (and former tag-team partner) Cody Rhodes. After the Royal Rumble, Jey said he was going to become World Heavyweight Champion, teasing a rematch with the Ring General.
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce has confirmed that Jey will be a part of tonight’s episode of the red brand, leaving fans excited to see what he has to say. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Jey and his unlikely journey to the main event of WrestleMania 41.
The 2025 Royal Rumble was one of the most anticipated wrestling events of all time and it ended on a shocking note with Jey Uso eliminating John Cena to punch his ticket to a WrestleMania main event.
There were many notable moments coming out of the Men’s Rumble before this which elicited interesting reactions from people within the wrestling world.
Akira Tozawa who could not enter the Rumble after being attacked by Carmelo Hayes during his entrance noted that he would like to take a step closer to the ring next year. Meanwhile, social media personality Speed who took his place in the battle royal claimed that he was done with WWE appearance after taking a huge spear from Bron Breakker before his elimiation.
Sheamus who got into a fight with Jacob Fatu after the Samoan Warewolf attacked Joe Hendry during the match noted that he was enjoying Hendry’s performance. Bronson Reed who has been out of action since Survivor Series last year also expressed his thoughts on the match.
8 years since I came to WWE. This was my first time making an entrance at the #ROYALRUMBLE
Next year, I want to take even one step closer to the ring!!
Wrestling World Reacts To Jey Uso Winning Royal Rumble
The win of Jey Uso came as a huge surprise for people who were hoping for other big names to pick up the victory this year and the match’s ending is garnering mixed reactions from fans online.
Though the whole wrestling world recognizes Uso’s hard work over the past few years as well. There have been many like Bully Ray, Zelina Vega and Ricochet who have congratulated the former IC Champion on his big win since the show.
The one wrestling personality who doesn’t seem to be thrilled with the idea is the World Champion Gunther, who previously defeated Uso on multiple occasion:
After the show, Jackie Redmond caught up with Jey Uso for his first thoughts following the biggest victory of his career.
“There’s gonna be a party tonight! There’s gonna be a party tonight Uce! It’s my turn, It’s my turn Jackie!”
Later in the interview, Jey gave his bold vision for WrestleMania 41, where fans will see him capture the richest prize from Monday Night Raw.
“They ain’t never seen me coming, but guess what? I just won the damn Royal Rumble 2025! I bet y’all never see that coming! But another thing you’re gonna see coming Uce. Me main eventing WrestleMania and becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion!”
With his victory, Uso has earned a championship match against either Cody Rhodes or GUNTHER at WrestleMania 41, though clearly has his sights set on the Ring General. Uso and GUNTHER battled at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in December 2024 in a match that saw GUNTHER retain.
Uso’s surprising win demonstrates the unpredictability wrestling fans love, as few expected him to win a match that included CM Punk, John Cena, Roman Reigns and other top stars. Now, Jey Uso is ‘Yeet-ing’ his way to the main event of WrestleMania 41 where he plans on winning his first World Championship.
Jey Uso has punched his ticket on the Road to WrestleMania 41 by winning the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match. In the main event of the 2025 Royal Rumble Uso last eliminated John Cena to win the 30-Man match.
Jey entered at the #20 spot to one of the loudest ovations inside Lucas Oil Stadium. With a star-studded match featuring Cena, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and more, Uso’s win is being considered one of the biggest surprises in Royal Rumble history.
Check out these highlights of the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble Match:
At WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, GUNTHER retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Jey Uso. Taking to X after the show, GUNTHER shared some advice for the Superstar he’s beaten on three separate occasions.
GUNTHER holds far more than three victories over Jey Uso if you include WWE live events and dark matches. Despite this, Jey remains confident that a World Championship will be his in the future. In post-match comments, the former Intercontinental Champion shared his plan for what’s next.
Jey Uso has already declared for the Men’s Royal Rumble match, a bout he started in 2024. Despite his popularity, Jey will face immense competition, as top names including CM Punk, John Cena, and Roman Reigns have also declared forthe much-anticipated 30-Man contest.
Though Jey lost at Saturday Night’s Main Event, fans remain excited at the prospect of the former tag-team specialist holding a WWE World Championship one day. If this happens, Jey will join the likes of Edge, Jeff Hardy, and JBL as tag wrestlers who have gone on to become World Champions.
Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Jey Uso, as fans can expect the ‘Main Event’ talent to continue his pursuit of a World Championship, despite GUNTHER’s warning.
Cody Rhodes came out to show his appreciation for his friend Jey Uso after the January 2025 Saturday Night’s Main Event from San Antonio went off air.
The Yeet Man challenged Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of tonight’s show. Despite a valiant effort, the Bloodline star unfortunately came up short and the Ring General retained the title with two back-to-back Powerbombs.
The American Nightmare came out after Gunther had left the arena and the broadcast had come to an end. He cut a short promo for Uso who remained in the ring and proclaimed that Jey’s time will come one day:
“Michael Cole just said it, you guys all know it, you just watched that match. He said Jey Uso’s time will come. I know it doesn’t feel good Jey, I’ve been there. But you’re a champion to me, you’re a champion to everybody here, let’s hear it for my friend Jey Uso.”
Cody Rhodes then hugged Jey before turning his attention to Gabriel ‘Fluffy’ Iglesias who was sitting with the audience. Rhodes invited the celebrity to the ring and the three stars then played the crowd to end the show on a happy note.
The Undisputed WWE Champion had his own segment at tonight’s show before this where he signed the contract for his upcoming Royal Rumble match with Kevin Owens. The segment ended with the moderator Shawn Michaels getting physical and delivering a Sweet Chin Music. You can watch that here.

Vanessa Hudgens brought a touch of A-Lister glamor to WWE SmackDown this week, with a fun moment in Phoenix, Arizona.
Hudgens, known for her breakout role in High School Musial, attended the event at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. After the show, Cody Rhodes invited Hudgens into the ring, setting the stage for a crowd-pleasing “yeet” celebration. Hudgens performed the popular gesture alongside Rhodes, The Usos, and Sami Zayn.
— Justin David Kish • Sports Journalist (@JustinDavidKish) January 4, 2025
This isn’t Hudgens’ first interaction with WWE. In November, she acknowledged Roman Reigns during an episode of Raw and met WWE Superstar Bianca Belair backstage. Last month, Hudgens admitted that Rhea Ripley is her ‘Girl Crush’ and that she could “just watch her forever.”
Hudgens’ role at this week’s SmackDown wasn’t confined to what happened after the show. During SmackDown Hudgens also shared her love for Chelsea Green as she placed her hand to her heart in recognition of the longest-reigning WWE Women’s United States Champion.
The excitement didn’t end after this week’s Raw, as a thrilling six-man tag team street fight sent the Houston crowd home happy. This week’s episode marked the final Raw of the year and the last televised installment ahead of the much-anticipated move to Netflix on January 6.
After WWE Raw (December 30)
After the show went off the air, fans were treated to an electrifying street fight as The New Day joined forces with Santos Escobar to battle Rey Mysterio, Jey Uso, and LA Knight. The trio of fan-favorite babyfaces secured the victory, much to the delight of the energetic Houston audience.

The New Day has been at odds with Mysterio as of late, with Rey making clear to their pair that they are no longer welcome in the locker room. Last week, Mysterio offered an olive branch, saying an apology for betraying Big E would go a long way into the pair being welcomed back but Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods refused to share any remorse.
Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from WWE Monday Night Raw, as the company prepares to embark on a new era for the red brand on Netflix.
The Usos returned to tag-team action this week, marking their first traditional tag-team match in over 17 months. At a WWE live event in Jacksonville on December 26, the brothers reunited but fell short against The Bloodline‘s Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
This long-awaited reunion was a treat for fans of the longest-reigning WWE Tag Team Champions. Their last traditional tag-team match took place at WWE Money in the Bank in July 2023, where they secured a victory over Sikoa and Roman Reigns. That match also marked Reigns’ first time being pinned in WWE in close to four years.
Although this marks the duo’s first traditional tag match in over a year, Jimmy and Jey have been working together recently. At WWE Crown Jewel, the brothers joined forces with Reigns to face Sikoa, Fatu, and Tama Tonga. Additionally, they were part of the victorious team at Survivor Series: WarGames, where they triumphed inside the titular structure.
With the brothers seemingly back on the same page—capped off by a post-match “Yeet”—fans are speculating about the possibility of a full-fledged reunion on television. Stay tuned to SEScoops for updates as Jimmy and Jey Uso continue to make waves in WWE.
Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline wreaked havoc during the closing moments of this week’s WWE Raw, targeting two of the red brand’s most popular stars. In the main event, Drew McIntyre defeated Sami Zayn, extending his winning streak over the ‘Honorary Uce,’ a streak mentioned on commentary.
After the match, McIntyre continued his assault on Zayn, prompting Jey Uso to intervene in an attempt to save his ally. Jey was ambushed by Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu. The Bloodline proceeded to dismantle Zayn, with Sikoa delivering a Samoan Spike to the former Intercontinental Champion, marking a chaotic conclusion to the episode.
This appearance follows McIntyre’s confrontation with the Bloodline on last week’s SmackDown. During the encounter, the Scottish Warrior hinted at an inevitable clash with Sikoa despite their shared animosity toward Roman Reigns and his allies. Sikoa’s impact on McIntyre’s career has been significant, as his interference at WWE Clash at the Castle in September 2022 cost McIntyre the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
Sikoa’s Bloodline faction recently suffered a setback at Survivor Series: WarGames, where they teamed with Bronson Reed but lost to the OG Bloodline (including Zayn and Jey Uso) and CM Punk. The grueling match left several members sidelined with injuries: Bronson Reed sustained a leg injury, Tama Tonga is recovering from a bicep tear, and Jimmy Uso, who recently returned, had been dealing with a broken toe.
Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline, as the Tribal Chief prepares to do battle with Roman Reigns during Raw’s debut on Netflix.
Jey Uso, in an exclusive interview with Peter Rosenberg for Rosenberg Wrestling at ComplexCon 2024, provided insights into Paul Heyman’s continued importance to the Bloodline storyline, even as Heyman remains absent from WWE television.
Jey reassured fans that Heyman’s influence transcends his on-screen presence, describing the “Wiseman” as an indispensable figure in the family’s WWE journey. “The Wiseman is really the Wiseman to my family. He’s been around my family more than 50 years,” Jey revealed, emphasizing Heyman’s deep-rooted connection to the Anoa’i family.
Heyman’s behind-the-scenes contributions remain vital, according to Jey, who highlighted his mentor’s role in refining promos, strategizing storylines, and advocating for the family’s success.
“Even when he’s not on TV, he’s there. All the backstage stuff—‘Say this. Maybe say it like this. Do this. Do that.’ He’s a big player to vouch for you and push for you. Any problem we have, we go to him. He makes it happen for my family. We love him.”

Heyman’s Absence Fuels Speculation
The Wiseman Paul Heyman and Jey Uso (WWE TV)
Paul Heyman’s absence was notably spotlighted during the November 15 episode of SmackDown. In a key segment, Roman Reigns attempted to contact Heyman, only to encounter a “number not in service” message. This led to widespread speculation among fans about Heyman’s status within the Bloodline.
Jey dispelled concerns about Heyman’s position, clarifying that his lack of on-screen appearances does not detract from his crucial behind-the-scenes involvement. “He’s still very much a part of everything we do,” Jey affirmed.
Future Return and Survivor Series
While no definitive timeline for Heyman’s return to television has been provided, Jey’s remarks hint at his continued influence on the ongoing Bloodline narrative. This has only heightened intrigue surrounding the faction’s upcoming Survivor Series WarGames match on November 30.
Jey Uso and the Bloodline are set to face a formidable lineup, including Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Bronson Reed. Whether Heyman will make a surprise appearance remains uncertain, but his behind-the-scenes contributions to the storyline continue to solidify the Bloodline’s dominance in WWE.
Jimmy Uso is not convinced that Sami Zayn is ‘family’ and has warned his brother Jey Uso about Zayn’s involvement in The Bloodline business.
During the latest edition of WWE Raw, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Sami Zayn had a fiery conversation and the segment ended with Jey inviting Sami to the upcoming edition of WWE SmackDown to address the issues with Roman Reigns.
In a Raw Exclusive, Jey was asked to comment on the tense situation, and he said that he was hopeful that Zayn would accept the invitation. However, he was interrupted by his brother Jimmy who said that things will get heated if Zayn showed up on Friday night. Jimmy Uso said:
“I hope Sami Zayn just stays where he needs to stay at, Uce. He don’t need to show up or nothing. He ain’t Uce, he’s not family. Listen, you think tonight was heated? If he shows up to SmackDown, Uce, it’s gonna get real heated, and I don’t want to be like, ‘I told you so.'”
At last Saturday’s WWE Crown Jewel, The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga & Jacob Fatu) defeated the team of Roman Reigns & The Usos. Solo Sikoa got the win for his team after pinning the OTC. This marked Reigns’ second pinfall in 16 months and it came after a series of Samoan Spikes from the new Tribal Chief.
Following the match, Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Jacob Fatu, and Tonga Loa started assaulting Reigns and The Usos. However, it was Sami Zayn who ran down to the ring to the aid of The OG Bloodline. Though Sami teased joining forces with Solo, he attacked Solo and helped Reigns and The Usos to fight The Bloodline. But things became confusing as Sami attempted to hit a Helluva Kick on Solo but accidentally hit Reigns, while Sikoa managed to escape.
‘Main Event’ Jey Uso’s popularity has once again proven to be undeniable after topping the WWE merchandise sales charts for the month of October. A report by Wrestlenomics reveals that Jey was WWE’s top merch seller when it comes to apparel, besting top names like CM Punk and Roman Reigns.

October was a month of major changes for Jey, who began riding high as the Intercontinental Champion. By the end of the month though, Jey had lost the title back to Bron Breakker and had formed a shaky alliance with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso. The trio lost to Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline at WWE Crown Jewel.
Jey’s spot as the number-one merch seller only further proves his popularity, not just in October but throughout the year. In May, Jey took second place behind CM Punk and has remained a fixture of the Top 10 rankings for months. You can check out the assortment of Jey’s merchandise, ranging from T-shirts to titles to foam ‘YEET’ hands by clicking here.
As one of the most popular stars on TV and with these impressive sales figures, fans can expect to see plenty of ‘Main Event Jey’ on programming, whether as a singles competitor or as part of Roman Reigns’ newly re-formed Bloodline. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on Jey Uso, as the WWE Universe is well and truly behind the YEETing Superstar.

Bron Breakker is IC Champion again thanks to some help from The Bloodline.
The main event of this week’s Raw from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania featured Jey Uso defending the IC title against Breakker. Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu showed up in the arena halfway through the bout to ‘help’ Jey retain the title.
The duo of Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa were also not far behind. Tonga showed up to encourage the defending champion but things turned into chaos when Jey superkicked his cousin. Tama Tonga then tried to level him but ate a superkick too.
Solo Sikoa still looked to help his cousin and he took a spear from Bron Breakker after pushing Uso out of the harm’s way. Jacob Fatu then came up face-to-face with Breakker to distract him. Jey was not convinced however and he leveled both Fatu and Breakker with a tope suicida.
The ending of the bout saw Adam Pearce running down to escort Tonga and Loa out of the arena. Jey looked to land a spear on his opponent in the meantime but Fatu attacked him.
The Samoan Wearwolf dropped his cousin on top of the announce desk. Bron Breakker then took advantage as he dumped Jey back into the ring for a super spear and the pin.
Jey Uso’s Intercontinental Championship reign ends at only 27 days with his loss while Breakker starts his second run with the title.
These events are likely to motivate Jey to finally join forces with Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso against Solo Sikoa’s disciples. The group would still be one member short and Sami Zayn may be next on the list of potential allies for the original Tribal Chief.
Jey Uso is enjoying his first reign with a singles title as the WWE Intercontinental Champion. Ahead of his next title defense against Bron Breakker tonight on WWE Raw, the former Bloodline member hasn’t given up hope on reuniting with his brother.
Jimmy Uso made a surprise return at WWE Bad Blood and came to the aid of Roman Reigns, but he’s yet to make peace with Jey.
During a recent interview with Metro UK, Jey Uso expressed his desire to reform what he calls the greatest tag team in the world, The Usos. They’re one of the most decorated tag teams in history, and Jey can’t help but think about the prospective tag matches awaiting them.
“I would like to [wrestle MCMG] with Jimmy. I feel like with Jimmy… We are the best tag team in the world. We’ve done everything. But I feel like if we did have a comeback, man, I would like to run with those guys.”

He also named, “a couple guys from NXT” and AEW stars Lucha Bros. (Pentagon and Rey Fenix) , “but they gotta walk through this door.”
The Usos last teamed together at WrestleMania 39 (April 1, 2023), where they faced and lost the Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Neither team is still together, but the arrival of the MCMG freshens up the tag team division.
Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley have already made an impact following their debuts last week on WWE SmackDown. This coming Friday, they’ll mix it up with DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa).
Jimmy Uso may have reunited with Roman Reigns at WWE Bad Blood, but winning over his brother Jey is proving to be far more difficult for ‘Big Jim.’ During the October 14, episode of WWE Raw, the Intercontinental Champion saved the New Day from a beatdown by Bron Breakker, but returned to his locker room only to find Jimmy waiting for him. Jimmy tried to start a conversation, but Jey wasn’t interested. Without a word, Jey turned and walked off, clearly not ready to reconcile.
Later in the night, Jimmy made another attempt to talk to Jey, but this time Jey was visibly frustrated. He angrily told Jimmy to get out of his face, making it clear that their tension, which has been brewing since Jey’s departure from The Bloodline, isn’t likely to ease anytime soon.
Jimmy tried to get Roman Reigns to bring in Jey on the latest SmackDown, only to get a “No Yeet!” from the Original Tribal Chief. While having the Intercontinental Champion on board would certainly be huge for Reigns and Jimmy in their war with Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline, Jey Uso wants no part of their family civil war.
