When Did Jey Uso Find Out He Was Winning The 2025 WWE Royal Rumble Revealed WWE

WWE star Jey Uso has revealed when exactly he found out that he was set to win the 2025 Royal Rumble match.

Many fans are calling Main Event Jey’s victory one of the biggest surprises in Royal Rumble history, with the former Intercontinental Champion last eliminating John Cena to punch his ticket for WrestleMania 41.

Speaking with Daniel Cormier, Jey Uso noted that he only found out plans for him to win this match on the day of the show (February 1).

Recalling being told the news while with Cena, Logan Paul and CM Punk – the planned final four competitors in the match – Jey Uso said:

“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.”

Jey Uso’s father and WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi has now opened up about the Royal Rumble win, which you can read more about right here.
