“I’m now an arena shaker, Bro”: Jey Uso rides a remarkable wave of the swing in Wrestlemania 41

Jey Uso can’t sit still. In the past two years he has been an energy hall, from his intensive interactions with his bloodlined brothers, his rise WWES Singles and his kinetic entrances through the crowd. At that moment he goes in a complete Nike -Tech training suit in and out of his residence and prepares for an appointment in the WWE performance center. Finding the balance as a newly shaped solo star was a challenge, but he can finally really process and enjoy it.

San Antonios Alamodomas is both a modern miracle and a hulcing relic, a building in which some of the best -known events of the United States are housed, but is often handed over for the more modern, intimate Frost Bank Center. The Spurs used to deviate half of the arena for games until they switched to the smaller event location in 2002. While the alamodome has seen some of the most memorable moments of Wrestling, John Cena won his 16th world championship title to Cody Rhodes’ Royal Rumbuming Win. Gunther.

“The whole atmosphere. The atmosphere was different.” Jey remembers that a week before the Royal Rumble he shot the title at the main event on Saturday evening. “The whole thing with the old school was different, man. So it felt like a big pay-per-view, you know. And this match with Gunther was Hella Live. … I almost had his ass, man. So I could get it once, man … a main event … I was something like” oh, damn.

The following week he had this trust in the greatest moment of his career, which was victorious in the Royal Rumble. In a field with 12 former WWE world champion, Jey was a dark horse. It seemed to be an even more branching conclusion that he would end as a second place than second place than he faced John Cena, who declared his need to win another world championship before retirement at the end of the year. When Jey Cena’s attempt to attend reverse and pushed him off the ring apron, there was a mixture of joy, surprise and self -reflection at once.

“I never thought it would never be me in a million years and would be damn John Cena. You feel me?” Jey says. “… he was so happy that I was, man. And I was glad to be in there. … I and John Cena, man. … was that the dopest Royal Rumble in history?

When the bloodline decreased after pandemic and the world opened again, Jey and his brother Jimmy would become clearer in their phenomena and obligations. With her big smile and your willingness to have lengthy conversations with fans, the Usos became the most sought -after talents in the different places where WWE would occupy before his shows. But as soon as she separated and Jeys star started to rise, it took some time for her to adapt to the stretcher alone.

“Now I am blocked for two hours (for the fans). … There are a number of people worth two hours,” says Jey. “I go and get them all. … I take a picture with every single person who is waiting for me, man because there was a moment when it wasn’t. … Some people say:” We have been here for 4 a.m. “… that humiliates me, man. I love it, man.

He would get his first taste of singles gold on September 23, 2024 by defeating Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship. It gave him a special meaning, since not only his cousins ​​The Rock and Roman Reigns and Uncle Umaga had previously won, but it was also the only title that his father Rikishi won during his term in the WWE. Jey had imagined winning it until 2023 when Gunther was running in his record-continental title.

While in February 2024 he had briefly made RAW on Monday evening and later lost to Gunther in the King of the Ring Final in May 2024, Jeys had been out of the charts since then. After his first win from Wrestlemania -Singles, who conquered the Intercontinental title and won the Royal Rumble in less than a year, the only thing to do is the main prize from Monday evening RAW.

He is not only on himself to win himself. Jey Uso wins the World Cup for its fans and family. The man who has reintroduced the “Yeet” into the lexicon gets the loudest reactions every week, with the fans raising their arms to his self -persuaded entrance music. Like Diamond Dallas Page and the Sandman in front of him, he builds this connection by starting his way to the ring through the stands and even preparing the arenas for his arrival from the sidewalks. “Yeet” t-shirts and sunglasses are everywhere, children do their best to reproduce his high fade/muller hairstyle, and he can hardly think of any thought without hearing his characteristic call, similar to Steve Austin’s “What?” Chants.

“I am now an arena -shaker, brother. … Logan Paul, he put it on the video. … Austin Theory and Grayson (Waller) before I went out to work there to work, they said, they thought their legs gave their legs. And they said it was because my entrance happened and shaken the floors,” says Jey. “And that’s wherever I go. It’s everywhere.”

But as much as in the funny side, the journey is what has brought him here. The same fans that Jey used to see his temples frustrated with Sami Zayn cheered the two cheering when they looked at the marquee on Monday evening “I can’t believe that we are here”. Fans who saw Jey from the Tag team wrestler went to the Tag team superstar, showered him up to a step of world champion the night after Monday evening, when he talked about it never thought that he would get to this point.

Ultimately, Jey Uso wants to give an example. Under the watchful eye of Roman Reigns, the Bloodline story has created moments and legacies for a group of men who were born as wrestling elite. Jey in particular found his style, his voice and a legion of fans who wanted him to win. The world in heavyweight in the world in heavyweight at Wrestlemania 41 would be another trophy that shows the next generation of Anoa’i and Fatu families what they have and what they have to preserve.

“My family has been building this for 50 years. We breathe that,” says Jey. “How, this is our lifeline. The bloodline is real, man. … I want my little cousins, men, my children. (In five years) they will be like 20, 18. They know that they are ready. I just want to indicate the tone when I come behind.

His commitment to the family was never clearer in the last thrust towards Wrestlemania. Gunther, who was looking for an edge, would brutally attack Jey’s twin brother Jimmy, who came to RAW to show Jey both physical and emotional support. A little from one way, and with the light that might look too light, Jey had had a few hard weeks in competition. But after Gunther Jimmy defeated in the individual competition, Jimmy continued to attack and led Jey to make the rescue. Gunther attacks Jey from behind and then tied him up and left him helplessly because Gunther introduced the big brother Jimmy to the hospital. Jey would be angry with the name and disappointment of his mother and ensured that the champion understands that he has made it deeper than just competition. So Jey Uso has his fans, family and anger on his side and plans to put everything together to write history.

“I will shock the world twice (by winning the Royal Rumble) and then the new world -heavy weight champion, man. … and I would like to thank Gunther for bringing me back to my damn place … because I reset my damn mind, brother.
