Jey Uso is the man of the people.
Fans have rallied around Jey Uso throughout his singles run, and he has consistently been getting some of the loudest reactions of the night. His entrance has become especially popular, as many fans yeet along with him. This momentum led to Uso winning the Men's Royal Rumble.
Speaking with Daniel Cormier, Jey Uso was asked about his connection with the fans.
“I’m the man of the people now. I’m the new People’s Champ now, or will be. But I do love the people because I feel like they watched me raise me, they watched my whole story in front of them, and I was never supposed to be the top guy. They chose me, Uce. Mark Henry just said that on their podcast, the people chose Jey. That’s what it’s working for him. They’re not shoving nobody down no one’s throat. They watched me work, and I feel like they can resonate with that," Uso said.
The Rock has called himself "The People's Champion" throughout his career.
Uso recently said that he wasn't told he'd be winning the Royal Rumble until the day of the show. Check out his comments here.
