Is main event started after he won the men's Royal Rumble match earlier this year. It is considered one of the most shocking Royal Rumble wins in the history of wrestling.
Jey went on to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41 and defeated the Ring General to win his first World title. After having a title reign of around two months, he dropped the Championship back to Gunther. He could not win back the Championship after dropping the title, but he was not taken out of the main events after dropping the title.

Wrestling analyst Vince Russo recently talked about the rumours of Jey Uso turning heel, and he also explained why he should turn heel. Speaking on the “Legion of RAW” podcast, he said, “The fans were booing Jey Uso when he speared LA Knight. And, again, like I said, bro, the fact that they do not have an opponent for Cody, and is that the reason why?
“So, because you didn’t book properly and you didn’t have an opponent set up for Cody, all that time and energy you put into yeeting and the entrances and the little kids and the merch and out in the hallway, all that is going to be erased because we don’t have an opponent for Cody.” said Vince Russo.
