WWE fans are stunned by Jey Uso's new nickname; he's given it to himself

Jey Uso has taken up a new name and WWE fans are not quite sure what to make of it.

The superstar has been in the middle of a big push this year, whether it be breaking away from the Bloodline to stand on his own feet, his feud with Roman Reigns, or even his arrival on RAW and tagging with Cody Rhodes. The star was a champion only a few weeks ago, and lost after interference from his brother during the title defense. Naturally, he won't be feeling too kindly about that.

However, he's been in the middle of another storyline, one that has seen him come across Rhea Ripley more than a few times. Ever since he came to RAW, Ripley appeared to be ready to recruit him to The Judgment Day, and flirted with him, hoping to entice him further.

Jey Uso has so far turned down The Judgment Day's offer, but has since been very aggressively flirting with Ripley instead. The star has made his intentions quite clear in recent weeks, flirting with her even while beating down the other members of her group. He's taken it one step further now, and in a clear shot at Ripley, has nicknamed himself, Papi Uso.

Fans are stunned at this, and while some of them have been hoping for Jey Uso to get a bigger push, others are unsure as to why he would name himself that. Meanwhile, even more fans are excited for him.

Fans flooded the tweet with comments about Jey's new nickname

It remains to be seen if this becomes a fully-fledged WWE character transition for Jey Uso.
