Jey Uso has become a focal point of discussion within the wrestling community, albeit for all the wrong reasons. Nobody expected him to win the Royal Rumble against the likes of Roman Reigns, John Cena, and CM Punk. However, fame also brings criticism, and many people have criticized him for his lackluster in-ring abilities.

On the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, Jey Uso faced Austin Theory in a singles match. ‘The Yeet Master’ quickly defeated Theory with a spear. However, what upset fans was an awkward moment when the 39-year-old star tried to dive outside the ring, but the ropes slowed his momentum, causing him to fall. ‘Main Event’ Jey later responded to the backlash on social media.

Jey Uso took to Instagram and shared a story of his failed dive on A-Town Down Under. He admitted his mistake, saying that nobody is perfect and that all wrestlers have made mistakes. The 2025 Royal Rumble winner asked fans to have faith in him. Determined to silence his critics, he has promised to execute the move perfectly on Raw next week.

After the match, Gunther once again tried to get the better of his WrestleMania opponent. However, Jey was ready this timeโ€”he snatched the Ring General’s title and stood tall. While many fans still doubt his ability to challenge for the championship, it will be interesting to see if he can silence his critics and capture the title at WrestleMania.

Austin Theory suffered a humiliating loss to Jey Uso on the latest episode of Monday Night Raw. As soon as the match began, the 39-year-old star hit Theory with a Spear to secure the win. However, Theoryโ€™s defeat was ultimately caused by his WrestleMania 39 opponent, John Cena.

According to WrestleVotes, John Cena’s promo lasted longer than expected due to the overwhelming reaction from fans. As a result, the producers cut several segments and matches, including the one between Theory and Uso. Many fans believed that after Raw moved to Netflix, the show would have more freedom from commercials and time constraints, but that wasnโ€™t the case.

The show has been ending just over the two-hour mark instead of the usual three hours. As for ‘The Unproven One’, everything went downhill after his win against Cena at WrestleMania 39. Although he won the tag titles at WrestleMania 40, his career is at a crucial stage. 2025 could be a defining year for him.

Who will be Jey Uso’s partner next week on Raw when he faces Austin Theory and Grayson Waller in a tag team match?

After defeating Theory in less than a minute, the former Intercontinental Champion will face A-Town Down Under in a tag team match with a mystery partner. Many fans are speculating about who this partner could be. They might help Uso fight off the heelish duo or make things even worse for him. Let’s explore the possible wrestlers who could team up with him.

The most likely option is his older brother, Jimmy Uso. If this happens, The Usos will team up for the first time since July 2023. However, they might face interference from the World Heavyweight Champion. Still, the chance of a brotherly reunion has fans excited.

Another exciting possibility is Joe Hendry from TNA, especially since next week’s show will be in his home country of Scotland. His last main roster appearance was in this year’s Royal Rumble match, and fans would love to see their hometown hero compete on Raw. Lastly, it could even be his WrestleMania opponent, Gunther. ‘The Ring General’ might play a trick on Uso, leaving him stranded against Theory and Waller.
