Jey Uso responds to Rhea Ripley’s proposed date

WWE Superstars Jey Uso and Rhea Ripley are currently involved in an onscreen romance storyline. The Intercontinental Champion has seemingly grown closer to The Terror Twins, and has been helping the duo against The Judgment Day in the past few weeks.

Last month, the former Bloodline member had said he would take The Eradicator on a date to Waffle House. Earlier today, Ripley took to her Instagram story to post a clip of her passing Waffle House and tagged Jey in the update, possibly suggesting she was ready for that date.

In response to the update shared by Rhea Ripley, Jey Uso posted a picture from Waffle House with a menu card on the table. You can check out Uso's Instagram story by clicking here.

"Bout to go in..." he wrote.

Wrestling veteran reveals he hates Jey Uso's gimmick

Jey Uso is one of the most popular superstars on WWE's main roster. The former Undisputed Tag Team Champion transitioned into a beloved babyface after leaving The Bloodline and SmackDown to join RAW.

After several failed attempts earlier, the WWE Universe was eagerly been waiting for Main Event Jey's first elusive singles title. He finally won the Intercontinental Championship by defeating Bron Breakker on the September 23 edition of Monday Night RAW.

However, on the latest episode of the Drive-Thru, legendary wrestling manager, Jim Cornette, declared Uso his least favorite top guy gimmick in wrestling. The 63-year-old added he hated the latter's work due to his over-the-top behavior, among other things.

"I've got a lot of least favorites in AEW. But I'm now officially declaring Jey Uso is my least favorite top guy gimmick in wrestling. It's all over. But I hate it. I hate 'Yeet.' I hate that Ringling Brothers outfit he's wearing with 'Yeet' on his arms, and flower petals on his legs, and fluorescent blue all over. I hate his work, which has gone to hell because of his hot doggery, which is not only over the top but also it seems to me to be hard to work with because the timing of his hot doggery is just a step behind the beat. I don't like any of this," said Cornette. [0:30-1:32]

Jey Uso is one of the most decorated tag team performers in the wrestling promotion. It remains to be seen what lies ahead for the former Bloodline member after winning his first singles championship.
