Jey Uso Reveals When He Found Out About 2025 WWE Royal Rumble Win

Jey Uso has revealed when he found out WWE were booking him to win the 2025 men’s Royal Rumble.

In a Royal Rumble match that featured top names such as John Cena, CM Punk, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins among others, Jey Uso emerged as a surprise winner of the Royal Rumble to many fans both inside Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium and watching at home around the world.

Speaking to the Daily Mail’s Alex McCarthy, Uso revealed that he was only informed of his Rumble win on the day of the event (February 1), specifically during a meeting with other stars involved in the match’s final four – John Cena, CM Punk and Logan Paul.

Uso said:

“I didn’t find out till the day of. They just sit down whoever is the last four. We’ll have this group meeting, then, ‘Right, last four, stay’. They call out the last four, I’m in the four, I’m like, “Oh damn”.

“Then they’ll tell me right there, ‘You know, we’re going to go with Jey’. ‘I’m Just looking around like, ‘Yeah’.

“I’m freaking out to the whole day, but it’s a good thing, it’s great, it’s good pressure to get put on you that day. And also moving forward, I’m just excited, because that’s a great title accolade to have under your belt, as a wrestler, and for me.”

“I have hit so many new things that I never thought I’d even scratch the surface on, but I’m the 2025 Royal Rumble winner now. I bet last year people would have never picked me. They didn’t pick me this year, but I just love this ride I’m on, and every week it changes.”

“I show up to work just ready to go. Whatever I’ve got to do, I’m going do it, and I feel like they see the hard work. I feel like Hunter (Triple H) knows. I bled for this, and he’s seen it because he went through it too, and he gave me this opportunity, and I’m just not going let anybody down.”

As a result of his Royal Rumble win Uso will challenge GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41 in an attempt to capture his first ever world title in his career.
