This week’s episode of WWE NXT saw Jey Uso make a spectacular appearance on the show. The Intercontinental Champion had the entire arena 'Yeeting' to his music as he turned St. Louis into ‘St. Lou Yeet’ for another night following RAW. However, the WWE Universe was surprised to see The Uce immediately drop the title as he was heading to the ring.

Jey Uso fought his last NXT match on March 13, 2014, in a winning effort against The Ascension and Corey Graves, teaming with his twin Jimmy and his former Bloodline brother Sami Zayn. His arrival this week, however, saw Mr. Yeet dropping his championship belt when he tried to cross the barricade. Notably, the IC Champ also had some difficulty while getting across the barrier, which resulted in him losing his grip on the title.

However, Uso didn’t let any awkwardness slide in as he continued to rock to his music. Then, while looking into the camera, he smoothly picked his belt back up and entered the ring.

Following this, he joined Trick Williams who was celebrating his NXT Championship victory with the crowd. Notably, the entry of The Yeet Master in the ring silenced Wes Lee, who had interrupted Trick's segment to fire shots at him. It would be interesting to see if Jey Uso might appear later tonight for another segment.
