WWE Raw opened with a bang this week as none other than Main Event Jey Uso made his way to the ring—now officially the World Heavyweight Champion. The crowd erupted as Jey’s theme hit and he “yeeted” his way down the ramp, championship gold proudly slung over his shoulder. This moment marked a full-circle moment for the former Bloodline member, who once stood in Roman Reigns’ shadow but now basks in the spotlight as the top man on Raw.
Clad in custom gear and a wide smile, Jey took the mic to thunderous “YEET!” chants from the WWE Universe. “They said I’d always be second best… but look at me now, Uce!” Jey shouted. “I earned this! No more tribal chiefs, no more right-hand man—I’m the man now!”
Jey went on to thank the fans for believing in him, promising to be a fighting champion. Before he could continue, however, Damian Priest and The Judgment Day’s music hit, with Priest eyeing the title and mocking Jey’s victory as a “fluke.”
Tensions quickly escalated, leading to a staredown that nearly turned physical before WWE officials stepped in. It’s clear Jey’s reign is already drawing big-time challengers.
With the locker room on notice and the WWE Universe firmly behind him, Jey Uso’s era as World Champion has begun with serious momentum—and he’s not planning on slowing down anytime soon.
This is the YEET ERA, and it’s only just begun.
