Jey Uso Eyes Royal Rumble Victory Amid Potential Bloodline Feud

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Jey Uso is determined to make history at the 2025 Royal Rumble after narrowly missing his first World Heavyweight Championship opportunity last week. The WWE superstar, known as “The Yeet Master,” lost to Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event but now sets his sights on winning the Royal Rumble for a guaranteed title shot at WrestleMania 41.

Uso will face stiff competition from top stars like Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, CM Punk, and his cousin Roman Reigns. The high-stakes match, where every wrestler competes individually, could reignite tensions between Uso and Reigns. Speculation is growing that Uso might turn on Reigns during the match, potentially eliminating him and reigniting their feud.

However, WWE Creative may hesitate to shift Uso’s character from fan-favorite face to heel. Over the past year, Uso has excelled as a singles competitor, capturing the Intercontinental Championship and gaining momentum. “If you’re a wrestler, you want to hold a damn WWE Championship one time, a World Heavyweight Championship one time,” Uso said in a recent interview with Cheap Heat. “I want to hold that s**t.”

Meanwhile, another Bloodline member, Jimmy Uso, could find himself in a mid-card feud after the Royal Rumble. During a recent SmackDown episode, Shinsuke Nakamura was spotted near Jimmy, hinting at a potential rivalry for the United States Championship. If Nakamura eliminates Jimmy during the Rumble, it could set the stage for a WrestleMania 41 showdown.

WWE may also explore the contrast between Jey and Jimmy’s singles careers, with Jey pursuing world title opportunities while Jimmy struggles to break through. This dynamic has already been highlighted by Carmelo Hayes, who mocked Jimmy’s lack of success. A feud with Nakamura could provide Jimmy with a chance to establish himself outside the Bloodline saga.

As the Royal Rumble approaches, the WWE Universe eagerly anticipates how these storylines will unfold. With potential twists involving The Rock‘s rumored return and Nakamura’s growing list of rivals, the road to WrestleMania 41 promises to be unpredictable.
