Jey Uso’s surprising win at the Royal Rumble on February 2 got a lot of attention online. After 15 years in WWE, he had never come so long solo as this before. Fans were shocked, but his win made everyone proud as he truly deserved it.
On the following Monday Night Raw, the crowd showed him a lot of love during his promo, making him truly emotional and even causing him to tear up.
Jey Uso brought the fun to WWE Raw again, just like in Saudi Arabia, asking for his theme song to play twice. When the music stopped, the crowd cheered loudly and chanted, “You deserve it,” not letting him talk.
Longtime fans know how rare it is for Jey to break character, but this time, he couldn’t hold back. The camera caught tears in his eyes as he reflected on his journey to winning the Royal Rumble.
This whole promo from Jey wasn’t his “yeet” persona.

He recently lost to Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event, but now he has the chance to fight for a world title. He could face Gunther or Cody Rhodes, but his mind is set on a rematch. Everyone is just waiting for the official confirmation.
