WWE superstar Jey Uso addressed the crowd at Phoenix’s PHX Arena after losing the World Heavyweight Title, offering an emotional apology and expressing gratitude for the time spent with his son. Uso’s night took a dramatic turn when Gunther locked in a sleeper hold, leading to his defeat.
Uso’s run as champion was short-lived, lasting only 51 days. He had previously defended the title three times but lost his first defense to Seth Rollins by disqualification. Despite the setback, Uso remains confident, citing a “shenanigans-free” match against Logan Paul and delivering his best performance as champion.
Uso’s journey in WWE began in 2010 with his brother Jimmy, dominating the tag team division for over a decade. He then became Roman Reigns’ right-hand man before breaking free from the Bloodline faction. Uso’s popularity is evident, tied only with Cody Rhodes, but his future in the World Title picture remains uncertain.
Despite Seth Rollins’ recent rise to prominence after winning the Money in the Bank contract, Uso vows to “run it back” and regain the title. The 2025 King of the Ring tournament has kicked off, and the winner will face either the Undisputed WWE or World Champion at SummerSlam in August.
