This week on WWE RAW, fans witnessed a major showdown Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes in the King of the Ring semi-final. It wasn’t just a regular match. It was a battle between two friends, two former world champions, and two superstars with deep emotional history. On paper, the match was big. But its emotional weight was even bigger.
With Cody Rhodes likely heading toward a SummerSlam main event against John Cena, it’s safe to guess that Jey Uso might take the fall in this one. If that happens, it could be the start of a major turning point in Jey’s career and character.
Jey Uso: More Than Just “Yeet!”
Jey Uso is one of the most energetic and loved wrestlers in WWE today. His “Yeet!” chants echo in arenas everywhere. He’s always smiling, jumping around, hyping up the crowd. But underneath that cheerful surface is someone who’s been through a lot.
He’s faced years of stress and emotional pain. His storyline with Roman Reigns, his brother Jimmy Uso, and Sami Zayn showed just how broken he was. Add in Cody Rhodes and others, and you have a man who’s been betrayed, used, abandoned and still stayed strong.
But how long can he keep this up?
What Happens If Jey Loses to Cody?
If Jey Uso loses to Cody Rhodes on RAW, it might not just be a normal defeat. It could break him mentally. Cody’s rise to the top and his current run makes him hard to beat. And Jey, no matter how hard he tries, might feel like he’s not good enough.
Now imagine being in Jey’s shoes after everything he’s been through, what if this loss is the final straw?
- Option 1: He walks away. Jey might take a break from WWE, choosing to heal emotionally and come back stronger.
- Option 2: He snaps. Instead of leaving quietly, he could explode with frustration, taking out his pain in a shocking way even quitting WWE on live TV.
Either way, it could lead to a big change in his story.
A Break Could Be the Best Move
Let’s not forget Joshua Fatu, the man behind Jey Uso, has been nonstop for years. From top feuds on SmackDown to being the heart of RAW, Jey has teamed with stars like CM Punk, Sami Zayn, and Cody Rhodes, while also fighting names like Gunther, John Cena, Logan Paul, and Seth Rollins.
He’s been everywhere. All gas, no breaks.
A short time off might be exactly what he needs not just physically, but mentally too. WWE can use this pause to refresh his character, come up with a new story, and bring him back better than ever.
Does Jey Still Have Crowd Support?
Absolutely. Jey Uso remains one of the most popular WWE Superstars today. Crowds love him. “Yeet!” still gets loud reactions. But even his biggest fans agree his act needs something new.
If Jey loses to Cody and disappears for a while, WWE could plan a strong comeback maybe with a new attitude, a new goal, or even a darker version of Jey. Sometimes, hitting rock bottom is how you rise higher than ever before.
