Big E Comments On Jey Uso Teaming With New Day On WWE Raw

WWE

Former WWE Champion Big E has commented on Jey Uso teaming with The New Day on this past Monday’s WWE Raw.

The New Day is regarded as one of the most decorated and accomplished tag teams in WWE history, and the duo’s greatest rival is of course The Usos.

The two tandems built a legacy together through a series of memorable battles over the years.

While Jimmy and Jey Uso beat The New Day’s record for the longest-reigning WWE Tag Team Championship run, Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are 12-time Grand Slam Tag Team Champions.

Through their many battles, respect was formed between the five men. This led to Jey Uso teaming up with Kingston and Woods to defeat Imperium on the February 12 episode of WWE Raw.

Appearing on the February 14 edition of WWE’s The Bump, Big E revealed that there are no hard feelings toward Uso stepping into his role as the third member of New Day or as he called it, “New Jey,” for one evening. He said:

“You would think but look, man, when you have those knockdown, drag-out fights time is coming in with guys like that. You build a certain level of respect,”

“We all have to remember the moment where, on The Road to WrestleMania/KofiMania, where we had the Gauntlet Match and The Usos came out and said, ‘You know what, we forfeit,’ so, you know what? Things are good.”

“I feel like we smoked the peace pipe, we buried the hatchet, all those things. Jey has been on one incredible run.”

“Man, we go back so far. I think back to you FCW when I used to pick him up. He didn’t have a car to go to practice and train.”

“We’re talking about 12-13 years ago. To see him where he’s at right now in his run, all the respect to Jey,”

Thanks to his victory in the six-man tag team match, Jey Uso will now challenge GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Championship on the February 19 episode of WWE Raw.

Also announced for the show, Cody Rhodes will face Drew McIntyre, and The Judgment Day will face R-Truth, The Miz and DIY in an eight-man tag team match.
