Jey Uso continues to cement his legacy as a top WWE Superstar. Jey and brother Jimmy Uso made their names as tag team legends and found new fame with Roman Reigns in The Bloodline. The younger Uso has been on his own for 20 months, and now a surprising development has been revealed from backstage.
Main Event Jey feuded with Gunther over the World Heavyweight Championship for months. The war between Uso and The Ring General went back even further, with Jey failing to win the Intercontinental Championship, and advance in the King of the Ring tournament. Things changed at WrestleMania 41 as Jey opened Night One by defeating the Imperium boss in almost 17 minutes, ending Gunther's reign at 258 days.
WWE's new World Heavyweight Champion is also a locker-room legend, according to Wade Barrett. The SmackDown commentator took to X today to share a ringside photo from Allegiant Stadium. Barrett captioned the photo with immense praise for the Anoa'i family star and labeled him the coolest to do it. He also appreciated the Samoan twin for his backstage influence, calling him a 'locker-room legend.'
