38-year-old WWE RAW star surprised at his incredible rise: "I never imagined that I'd hit this level"
A WWE RAW star was quite surprised at his incredible rise in popularity. This star is a tag team legend and has had a very successful transition to a solo career.
Jey Uso is one of the most popular men on the WWE roster. He initially started his WWE career in a tag team along with his brother Jimmy Uso. Together, The Usos continued to dominate the tag team division for several years and won the tag team titles several times in the process.
However, it was their storyline with The Bloodline that brought them a lot of mainstream success, especially for Jey Uso, who left the group due to issues with his brother Jimmy Uso and his cousin Roman Reigns. Since then, Jey has been doing his own thing on RAW and has grown to become the most popular star on the roster.
Jey was part of the Fanatics Fest Ring Revolutionaries panel along with Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. During the panel discussion, Jey was asked about his rise in popularity. The RAW star mentioned that he never thought his popularity would ever rise to this level but attributed it to hard work.
"No, Uce. No, I never imagined that I'd hit this level, you know. I just show up every week like we always do and we go to work man. I really believe though hard work really pays off, Uce, you know. You hear me kids. Yeet!" [17:00 - 17:33]
WWE star Rhea Ripley teases romance with Jey Uso
A couple of weeks ago on RAW, Jey Uso made an offer to take Rhea Ripley to Waffle House on a date. This infuriated Dominik Mysterio who was with Mami at the time. However, since then, Dominik has betrayed Mami and sided with Liv Morgan which has fans wondering where Rhea stood on Jey's offer.
During the recent Fanatics Fest event, Ripley mentioned that Jey has not yet taken her to Waffle House, teasing the possibility of an onscreen romance between the two of them.
"He [Jey Uso] has not taken me to Waffle House yet," she said. [From 00:06 - 00:10]
It remains to be seen how this potential relationship angle plays out on WWE television as well.
