The Royal Rumble kicked off the road to WrestleMania last weekend and now everyone is waiting to see how things will play out in the months to come. Jey Uso shocked the world when he punched his ticket to WrestleMania by eliminating John Cena to win the Royal Rumble.
The former Intercontinental Champion recently spoke to Daniel Cormier about how his Royal Rumble win came together, and he revealed that he didn’t find out about the finish until the day of the show.
“Man, I was humbled, man. I knew, as soon as they told me it was me, they told me like halfway during the day Saturday, man. ‘Hey, we need the last four to come in here.’ I’m last four, I see who’s with me. I’m like [looks around]. Yeah, they let me know, man. Then, I was like, man, I would show to my brothers, ‘Hey.’ They told them what it was, and I knew I liked it because I knew not one person in that arena [would] think it’s gonna be me.
“That’s the swerve I like, just like on Monday Night Raw on Bron Breakker, one of the hottest up-and-coming superstars. He’s not gonna beat him on a Monday Night Raw, and they go crazy [when I won]. So that’s the emotion that I like to pump to the fans, man. We gotta swerve because everyone’s smart today. Everyone thinks they know. Y’all ain’t got no damn clue, man. I like to just let y’all enjoy the show, Uce. Enjoy it. Enjoy what we do. It’s entertainment, it’s fun. When you’re there with us, you just gotta be there with us, man. It’s a great show. I love this. I love what we do.”
