Jey Uso says he treats every night like it's his last in WWE.
During the 2025 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event on February 1st, Jey Uso would capture the victory in the Men's Royal Rumble match in a result that surprised many fans. Uso would last eliminate John Cena to secure the biggest win of his wrestling career
While speaking to Club 520 in a recent interview, Jey Uso reflected on his road so far, noting there were times he would be fired and he now treats every night like it will be his last in WWE.
"I ain’t gonna lie, every year I’ve been wrestling, I thought I’d get fired. That’s how I think. That’s how cold it is. Everybody is coming. In this business, everybody is trying to come get the top spot. They are bringing in the little homies, and I’m on my way out. I’ve been on WWE TV for going on 15 years. I’ve always felt strong, but I feel the body creeping up. I’m 39 right now. It’s a young man’s game and I recognize it. I just like stepping up and challenging all of them. They are gonna have to go through me and the top homies to take it. I’m not gonna let you take it if you’re not ready.I’m so grateful. There was a moment in wrestling where there was no reaction or I wasn’t on TV and I’d show up to work and sit in the corner the whole time. What do I do? Every single night, I treat it like it’s my first time. The energy out there is crazy. I really vibe off that. If I’m going to take up time off TV, our segments are slotted out with certain time. If I’m out there and they are going crazy, you’re gonna have to cut some time from the segment after me because they aren’t going to get higher than what’s going on right now."
Elsewhere in the same interview, Jey noted that his son was aready asking about becoming a wrestler. You can read more about that here.
