Jey Uso’s victory in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble has the WWE fanbase divided. Some fans were happy to see him win it, while others think he’s not worthy of the moment. To win, he had to overcome the likes of John Cena, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk.
While speaking with Daniel Cormier, Uso revealed he learned he was winning on Saturday afternoon.
“I was humbled. I knew, as soon as they told me it was me, they told me like halfway during the day Saturday, man. ‘Hey, we need the last four to come in here.’ I’m last four, I see who’s with me….Yeah, they let me know. Then, I was like, man, I would show to my brothers, ‘Hey.’ They told them what it was, and 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 on 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]. So that’s the emotion that I like to pump to the fans, man. We gotta swerve because 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.”
