Jey Uso Reveals When He Learned He Was Winning the WWE Royal Rumble – Jey Uso’s victory in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble has sparked a division among the WWE fanbase. While some fans are thrilled to see him take the win, others feel he’s not quite worthy of the moment. To clinch the victory, Uso had to outlast big names like John Cena, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk, adding to the intrigue of his triumph.
In an interview with Daniel Cormier, Jey Uso opened up about the moment he learned he would win the Royal Rumble, revealing that he found out on Saturday afternoon before the event. He said, “I was humbled. I knew, as soon as they told me it was me, they told me like halfway during the day Saturday. ‘Hey, we need the last four to come in here.’ I’m last four, I see who’s with me…”
Uso explained that after being informed of the outcome, he shared the news with his brothers, and the excitement began to build. “I knew I liked it because I knew not one person in that arena would think it’s gonna be me. That’s the swerve I like, just like on Monday Night Raw with Bron Breakker, one of the hottest up-and-coming superstars. He’s not gonna beat him on a Monday Night Raw, and they go crazy once he won it.”
For Uso, the element of surprise is key. He continued, “Everyone’s smart today. Everyone thinks they know. Y’all ain’t got no damn clue. I like to just let y’all enjoy the show, Uce. Enjoy what we do. It’s entertainment, it’s fun. When you’re there with us, you just gotta be there with us, man. It’s a great show. I love this. I love what we do.”
While his win may have shocked some fans, Jey Uso’s approach reflects the thrill and unpredictability that WWE thrives on, delivering a memorable moment to the Royal Rumble match.
