[WATCH] 40-year-old WWE star puts over Jey Uso after RAW goes off air
Jey Uso went from forever tag team wrestler in WWE to Mr. Main Event. It took him a while to truly find his footing as a solo star, but he got there, and the evidence is in all of the fan reactions at every arena.
On the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, Uso teamed up with Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn in the main event. The bout was more about the former Right Hand Man of The Bloodline than Zayn.
Jey was attacked backstage by The Judgment Day, which led to the main event of the show. In the end, he scored the pinfall victory over the World Tag Team Champions Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh. It's also worth noting that WWE Creative seems to be heavily leaning on Rhea Ripley's soft spot for The Judgment Day's rival.
After this week's episode went off the air, Sami Zayn massively put over Jey Uso. Zayn stated that the 38-year-old has truly earned the moniker "Main Event" and urged the production team to play Uso's music.

The Underdog was stalked by his SummerSlam challenger Bron Breakker right before the show went off-air. Breakker hit the Intercontinental Champion with a Spear to stand tall.
What's the story between Jey Uso and Rhea Ripley on WWE RAW?
Jey Uso caught up with The Judgment Day and confirmed Rhea Ripley's relationship status when the latter was furious at Dominik Mysterio. He then openly flirted with Ripley, saying that they could take things slow if she wanted to take that route. He brought up the idea of them going on a date at Waffle House.
During a backstage interview following a recent episode of RAW, Jey Uso claimed that Rhea Ripley deserved better than Dominik Mysterio. Ripley later surprised Jackie Redmond afterward, perhaps even the fans, by making a 'YEET' gesture when the latter asked whether Jey had her number.
Furthermore, she shared a post on social media which appears to be one in which Uso got a kiss from her. But all of this may have just been fun and games as she reinforced her relationship with Dom this week on RAW.
Fans, though, don't seem to buy what Mysterio apparently sold to Ripley. They believe he will turn on her at SummerSlam to side with Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, whom he rejected this week.
