Jey Uso stunned the world by winning this year’s Royal Rumble match in Indianapolis. His victory alone was a shock, but what made it even more surprising was that he eliminated the 16-time World Champion, John Cena, to secure his WrestleMania spot. Recently, Uso shared what Cena had to say following his monumental Rumble win.

Speaking on NightCap, ‘Main Event’ Jey revealed that Cena was incredibly supportive after his Royal Rumble win. He shared that Cena hugged him in the ring while he celebrated the monumental victory. The OG Bloodline member also recalled Cena encouraging him to embrace the moment, as the fans had fully accepted him as a main event star.

He said, ‘Hey, man,’ he hugged me, he goes, ‘Hey, Uce, I remember your first tour, I said, I always told you and your brother, you guys will be fine. Yeah, man, love, love for John Cena. He’s a GOAT.

Interestingly, the Austrian powerhouse doesn’t see Uso as being on his level. Leading up to the decision, he subtly hinted that the 39-year-old should reconsider challenging him at WrestleMania. However, now that the former Intercontinental Champion has made his choice, Gunther has vowed to make his road to The Show of Shows a living hell.
