There was a lot of hype heading into the men’s Royal Rumble this year as it was announced ahead of time that John Cena would be competing in his final Royal Rumble match.
John Cena went the distance in the match as he was one of the final two competitors. Ultimately Jey Uso shocked the world when he eliminated John to win the Royal Rumble for the first time in his career.
After the match Cena got back in the ring and exchanged a few words with Jey Uso as he celebrated the win. Uso talked about the conversation he had with John Cena during an appearance on Nightcap and he revealed what the former WWE Champion said to him.
“He hugged me and he goes ‘hey, I remember your first tour. I always told you and your brother you guys would be fine, be yourself. Look at these people now.’
“That’s when he turned me to the crowd and they were just hitting it, man (the Yeet taunt). So yeah man, love for John Cena, he’s a GOAT, man.”
While nothing has been officially announced just yet, Jey Uso stated during the Royal Rumble post-show press conference that he would like another shot at Gunther and the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. One way or another it’s been confirmed that Jey will be appearing on Raw tonight, so we’ll have to wait and see what he has to say.
