2025 Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso appeared during “WWE Raw” to announce his entrance into this yr’s match in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Uso won the Rumble last yr, last eliminating John Cena, to secure his opportunity on the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania, happening to wrest the title from Gunther and reigning as champion for 51 days before dropping the title back to the “Ring General.” He had since tried and did not regain the title while also feuding with The Vision alongside Roman Reigns and his brother Jimmy Uso towards the tip of last yr.
The reunited Usos captured their ninth WWE Tag Team Championship on the ultimate show of the yr, though Uso was once more on his own when he appeared on Monday in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Likewise, it was his singles prospects he desired to discuss as he declared for the Rumble on January 31 in Riyadh. That makes him just the second confirmed entrant for the 30-man match for a spot on the “Show of Shows,” following on from 2023 and 2024 winner Cody Rhodes’ announcement during Friday’s “WWE SmackDown.”
Michael Cole on commentary made note of how Jimmy Uso would react to his brother’s announcement in his absence. And The Latest Day were notably displeased in a subsequent segment that they were being ignored as Tag Team title challengers while one half of the champions sought to enter the Rumble.
