Jey Uso shocked the WWE Universe when he pushed John Cena off the apron to win the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble Match. But when did "Main Event" Jey find out that he would be heading to WrestleMania 41 and challenging for a world title?
The Yeet Master entered the Rumble as the No. 20 entrant, lasting for more than 36 minutes and eliminating three WWE Superstars. He threw out Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn before a showdown with Cena in the final moments of the match.
Just like with any wrestling match, Jey Uso was informed beforehand that he would win the Royal Rumble. Speaking to Daniel Cormier on the DC Check-In podcast, the former Intercontinental Champion revealed that WWE told him about his win a few hours before the premium live event.
