The road to WrestleMania 41 has been full of exciting twists and turns, and Jey Uso secured a title shot back in February when he won the 30 man Royal Rumble match. Jey will now go on to challenge Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
During a recent interview with Peter Rosenberg ahead of WrestleMania 41, Triple H explained why Jey Uso is in the spot he’s in right now, and he also addressed some of the criticism regarding Jey’s in-ring skills.
“Because people made it happen, sometimes things happen organically along the way that get you to where you wanna be. And Jey through The Bloodline saga was sort of a linch-pin in that story, then goes off on his own — Jey when he had the opportunities (post-Bloodline), would click on the moments and at the end of the day our business is about moments — Jey has great athletic ability and the things he does in the ring, he does well.”
“Is he the most technical guy? No. Is he the greatest performer in-ring? No. But he has a charisma and likability that he lets people in and they wanna see him succeed. When you walk into a building with 10-30-60,000 and he walks out and that whole place is doing his entrance, hanging on everything he does — That’s what it takes to be a top guy, it’s about box office, and Jey is proving he’s Main Event Jey Uso — Win lose or draw at WrestleMania, that connection with the crowd will be his moment.”
