This week’s SmackDown ended with an intriguing moment between Cody Rhodes and AJ Styles. However, the action didn’t stop there, as Jey Uso was also featured on the show for the live audience. He faced Drew McIntyre in a dark match where “Main Event” Jey pulled off a hilarious trick that exhilarated the fans in the arena.

As usual, Jey Uso was greeting the fans with his “Yeet” chants. It got a little annoying for Drew McIntyre, who was standing in the ring watching all of this. Things became more exciting when the Raw Superstar asked the referee to YEET during the match. The official wasted no time in joining the train, as he accepted Uso’s invitation to the YEET wave.

However, The Scottish Warrior wasn’t pleased with this, as he gave a stern stare to the fans, including the referee. It was a pretty wholesome interaction in the ring after SmackDown went off air. The former Tag Team Champion is known for his over-the-top approach with the fans, and his YEET catchphrase takes it to the next level.

During a conversation on the Battleground Podcast, Uso stated that it was surreal for him. He revealed that he had no idea about any of that. However, when he saw the fireflies, he quickly remembered Wyatt. In fact, it became emotional and overwhelming for him to see all that in France.

The crazy part is it was so loud in there man, you can't hear, if that makes sense. I had no idea they would do that...And as soon as I saw it, I thought it was how we all thought about him [Bray]. It was emotional man. I was just so overwhelmed by it.
