Main Event Jey Uso Opens RAW with an Emotional Celebration After His Royal Rumble Victory

Jey Uso kicked off this week’s episode of RAW in spectacular fashion, soaking in the electric atmosphere as the WWE Universe erupted in cheers. Just two days removed from his historic victory at the 2025 Royal Rumble, “Main Event” Jey Uso made his way to the ring with undeniable confidence and emotion. This was a moment he had long dreamed of—one that solidified his rise from being part of The Bloodline to a true main-event player in his own right.

With the crowd chanting “YEET!” in unison, Jey stood in the center of the ring, visibly moved by the overwhelming support. Holding the microphone, he took a deep breath before addressing the WWE Universe, reflecting on his arduous journey to this moment. He spoke about his struggles, from being in the shadow of his cousin Roman Reigns to breaking free and proving that he belongs at the top. He thanked the fans for believing in him and declared that winning the Royal Rumble was just the beginning. With WrestleMania 41 on the horizon, Jey promised that no matter who he faced, he would walk out as the champion.

However, just as the celebration was reaching its peak, the mood inside the arena quickly shifted when World Heavyweight Champion Gunther’s music hit. The imposing Ring General marched down to the ring with his championship slung over his shoulder, his expression filled with disdain. As Gunther entered the ring, the energy changed from celebration to confrontation.

Gunther wasted no time in making his intentions clear. With a smirk, he congratulated Jey but quickly dismissed his Royal Rumble victory as unimpressive. He reminded the WWE Universe that he had already defeated Jey Uso before and bluntly stated that he had no interest in facing him again at WrestleMania. According to Gunther, he was searching for a challenge truly worthy of the grandest stage of them all—names like CM Punk, John Cena, or even Roman Reigns. His words carried a sharp edge, making it clear that he did not see Jey Uso as a legitimate threat to his reign.

The tension between the two superstars was palpable as Jey stared Gunther down, visibly unfazed by the champion’s dismissive attitude. The WWE Universe erupted in chants of “YEET!” as Jey confidently responded, making it clear that he was not intimidated. Gunther, however, smirked once more and offered Jey a suggestion—he reminded him that there was always another choice. He advised Jey to think carefully about his decision, implying that he should reconsider challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship. The Ring General then left the ring, leaving Jey Uso alone to ponder his next move.

Instead of making an immediate decision, Jey surprised everyone by announcing that he would be heading to SmackDown to have a conversation with Cody Rhodes. With a determined look in his eyes, Jey stated that he would take his time to decide his WrestleMania opponent, but one thing was certain—no matter who he faced, he was walking out as the champion. With a final, resounding “YEET!” Jey dropped the microphone, signaling that his journey to WrestleMania had only just begun.

As RAW went off the air, the WWE Universe was left buzzing with anticipation. Would Jey Uso challenge Gunther despite the champion’s lack of enthusiasm, or would he turn his attention to the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship? With Cody Rhodes holding the title on SmackDown and the looming presence of Roman Reigns, the possibilities were endless. One thing was certain—Jey Uso was no longer just a supporting player in someone else’s story. He was writing his own, and at WrestleMania 41, he intended to make history.
