Jey Uso wins the Royal Rumble
A week prior to the Royal Rumble match, former 10-time tag team champion Jey Uso challenged WWE World Champion Gunther at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in an attempt to win the championship. Although unsuccessful, Uso remained optimistic about winning the Rumble match.
After 29 other men were eliminated, the Yeet professor claimed victory, creating one of the most spectacular Rumble moments in history. A few weeks later, after being assaulted on Raw by the world champion, Uso officially chose Gunther as his opponent for WrestleMania. WWE has the potential to pull off something special by having Uso win the world championship for the first time.
